Technical Description
The HURCO VMX42UDi is a high-performance 5-axis vertical machining center engineered for precision and versatility in demanding production environments. It features an X-axis travel of 42 inches (1,067 mm), a Y-axis travel of 24 inches (610 mm), and a Z-axis travel of 20.5 inches (520 mm), providing extensive work envelope capabilities. The machine is equipped with a powerful 24 HP (18 kW) direct-drive spindle capable of reaching speeds up to 15,000 RPM, delivering rapid acceleration, superior surface finishes, and efficient material removal rates. Its integrated trunnion table design enhances Z-axis clearance and enables true 5-axis simultaneous machining, supporting complex part geometries and advanced manufacturing requirements. The VMX42UDi comes standard with a 40-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), facilitating fast tool-to-tool changeovers and minimizing downtime. The spindle mount is compatible with CAT, BT, and DIN 40 tooling, ensuring broad tooling flexibility. The machine’s robust construction, including a solid cast iron frame and Yaskawa Sigma 5 drives, ensures high rigidity, accuracy, and reliability. Advanced control features include a dual-screen MAX5 console, WinMax Mill conversational programming, and UltiMotion for optimized motion control. The VMX42UDi also offers options such as tool and part probes for enhanced calibration and setup efficiency. With a machine weight of 15,840 lbs (7,185 kg), it delivers exceptional stability and vibration damping for consistent machining performance. This machining center is ideal for industries requiring high precision, speed, and flexibility in complex part production.
