2010 HURCO VMX30U VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2010 Hurco VMX30U is a 5-axis universal vertical machining center that integrates a trunnion-style tilting rotary table into the mid-size VMX30 platform, enabling full simultaneous 5-axis machining within a practical floor footprint. Axis travels measure 30 inches in X, 20 inches in Y, and 20 inches in Z, with A- and C-axis rotary motion providing 5-sided workpiece access without repositioning. A 29 HP 40-taper spindle drives the spindle to a maximum of 15,000 RPM, combining power and speed for efficient 5-axis contouring in aluminum, titanium, hardened steels, and engineering alloys. The Hurco WinMax control delivers full 5-axis simultaneous programming through conversational and ISO G-code modes, with RTCP (Rotational Tool Center Point) compensation ensuring precise contouring during combined linear and rotary motion. Ultimotion toolpath technology optimizes velocity across all five axes simultaneously, reducing cycle time and improving surface finish quality on complex contoured surfaces. The VMX30U is built on a rigid cast-iron base with high-speed linear guideways and precision ballscrews, providing the stiffness needed for accurate 5-axis cutting under varied load conditions. Applications include aerospace impellers, turbine components, orthopedic implants, precision mold surfaces, and complex structural parts requiring compound-angle features or undercut access. The VMX30U allows shops to consolidate multi-operation workflows into single-setup programs, reducing fixturing costs, eliminating re-fixturing errors, and improving dimensional consistency across complex part families.
