2000 HURCO VMX40 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2000 Hurco VMX40 is a 3-axis vertical machining center offering an enlarged work envelope and high-torque spindle for productive medium-to-large part machining in job shop and production environments. Axis travels measure 40 inches in X, 22 inches in Y, and 24 inches in Z, providing generous capacity for large fixtures, multi-part setups, and extended-length components. A 25 HP 40-taper spindle delivers continuous cutting power at speeds up to 10,000 RPM, supporting efficient stock removal in steel, aluminum, cast iron, and stainless steel. The Hurco WinMax conversational control system provides an interactive twin-screen programming interface with Ultimotion toolpath optimization and full ISO G-code compatibility, enabling rapid job programming at the machine while supporting CAM-driven production through DNC Ethernet connectivity. The VMX40 is built on a rigid cast-iron frame with linear guideways and precision ground ballscrews, providing long-term accuracy and vibration damping under demanding cutting loads. Weighing approximately 11,500 lbs, the VMX40 provides the structural rigidity needed for tight-tolerance work on medium-to-large workpieces. An automatic tool changer, integrated coolant system, and chip management features support continuous production operation. The VMX40 is well-suited for aerospace components, automotive tooling, mold and die work, and general precision machining where the combination of extended axis travels, high spindle power, and Hurco's intuitive control system delivers a productive and operator-friendly machining platform.
