HURCO VMX42SRI VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Hurco VMX42SRI is a precision 5-axis vertical machining center engineered for versatile manufacturing applications including batch production, one-off work, and die/mold operations. This machine features a swivel-head design with an integral spindle and a flush C-axis rotary table that provides an additional 3.5 inches of Z-axis clearance to accommodate taller workpieces. The rotary table offers unlimited angular movement, significantly reducing cycle times by eliminating continuous winding and unwinding operations. The work envelope spans 42 inches on the X-axis, 24 inches on the Y-axis, and 24 inches on the Z-axis, delivering 1,067.8mm x 609.6mm x 609.6mm of travel capacity. The machine operates at a maximum spindle speed of 12,000 RPM with 48 horsepower and 35.8 kW peak power output, enabling rapid traverse speeds of 38 m/min on both X and Y axes, and 32 m/min on the Z-axis. The VMX42SRI features a 40-station automatic tool changer with CAT-40 spindle taper, supporting tools up to 7 kilograms in weight and 300mm in length. The generously sized rotary table facilitates secondary operations and additional 3-axis work, maximizing production flexibility. Standing 125 inches tall and weighing 17,000 pounds, this machine delivers exceptional rigidity and precision manufacturing capabilities. Its advanced swivel-head architecture and rotary table design make it ideal for complex aerospace, automotive, and general machining applications requiring high-precision multi-axis capabilities.
