HURCO VMX42SRTI VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Hurco VMX42SRTi is a robust 5-axis vertical machining center designed for high-precision and versatile CNC milling. It features a substantial working envelope with X-axis travel of 42 inches, Y and Z travels of 24 inches each, supporting large workpieces. The machine is powered by a high-performance 48 hp spindle motor capable of reaching speeds up to 12,000 RPM, enabling efficient heavy cutting and superior surface finishes. Its CAT 40 spindle taper accommodates a 40-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) for extended machining without manual intervention. The 5-axis configuration includes a torque B-axis swivel head and a flush-mounted C-axis rotary table, which enhances flexibility by providing extensive table space for secondary operations or 3-axis work, while allowing for heavier workpieces to remain fully supported. The rotary table, offset to one side, supports heavy loads and standard workholding devices without requiring custom setups. The direct-drive torque motors on the B and C axes ensure fast, precise positioning with no duty cycle limitations, improving machining accuracy during extended operations. With a machine height of 125 inches and a weight of 18,520 pounds, the structure provides rigid stability aided by hydraulic clamping and braking mechanisms. The VMX42SRTi balances power, precision, and versatility, making it suitable for aerospace, general machining, and molding applications where complex geometries and high-quality finishes are essential. Its design supports rapid traverse rates and patented high-speed motion technology for efficient production.
