2014 HURCO VMX30UI VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2014 Hurco VMX30UI is a 5-axis universal vertical machining center that combines the VMX30U trunnion-style 5-axis platform with Hurco's WinMax i-series control, delivering full simultaneous 5-axis capability with an advanced control architecture. Axis travels measure 30 inches in X, 20 inches in Y, and 20 inches in Z, with integrated A- and C-axis rotary motion enabling complete 5-sided workpiece access. A 29 HP 40-taper spindle reaches a maximum of 15,000 RPM, providing the combination of power and speed needed for productive 5-axis contouring in aluminum, titanium, hardened die steels, and precision engineering alloys. The WinMax i-series control delivers enhanced 5-axis programming capability through conversational and ISO G-code interfaces, with RTCP compensation for accurate tool center point control and Ultimotion velocity optimization across all five axes. The i-series architecture provides improved processing speed, enhanced graphical simulation, and advanced Ethernet networking for DNC connectivity and remote program management. The VMX30UI is constructed on a rigid cast-iron base with high-speed linear guideways and precision ballscrews on all axes, optimized for the acceleration and accuracy demands of 5-axis high-speed machining. Ideal applications include aerospace impellers and structural components, medical orthopedic implants, precision injection mold cavities, and complex contoured parts requiring undercut access or compound-angle features within a single workholding setup, making the VMX30UI a flexible and productive 5-axis solution for high-value manufacturing.
