2019 HURCO VMX42SRTI VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2019 Hurco VMX42SRTI is a 5-axis vertical machining center combining a swivel spindle head (B-axis), integrated rotary table (C-axis), and Hurco WinMax MAX5 i-control for full simultaneous 5-axis machining capability. The machine provides 42-inch X-axis travel, 24-inch Y-axis travel, and 24-inch Z-axis travel with a 50-inch by 24-inch worktable. The B-axis swivel head articulates plus or minus 92 degrees and the C-axis rotary table offers continuous 360-degree rotation, allowing complete 5-sided machining and complex contoured surfacing in a single setup. The high-torque spindle delivers 48 horsepower peak with a maximum speed of 12,000 RPM on a CAT 40 taper, providing ample cutting force for aerospace alloys, titanium, stainless steel, and die steels. The i-control advanced motion engine (UltiMotion) dynamically optimizes axis acceleration and deceleration for improved surface finish and tighter tolerances during simultaneous 5-axis passes. The WinMax platform provides integrated conversational programming, DXF import, 3D toolpath simulation, and direct CAM post compatibility. A 40-tool automatic tool changer enables complex multi-operation jobs without operator intervention. The rigid cast-iron base and precision ballscrews maintain accuracy throughout the full range of 5-axis motion. At approximately 18,520 pounds, the VMX42SRTI is well suited for aerospace component manufacturers, medical device shops, and precision mold makers requiring simultaneous 5-axis capability with a modern intuitive control.
