HURCO VMX50I VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a robust travel capacity with 50 inches on the X-axis, 26 inches on the Y-axis, and 24 inches on the Z-axis, supported by a large 59 by 26-inch table capable of holding up to 4,410 pounds. The machine is powered by a 24 HP spindle motor delivering a maximum spindle speed of 12,000 RPM and a torque of 176.1 ft-lbs at 720 RPM, ensuring high power and precision for diverse machining tasks. It employs a 30-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) mounted on the side, accommodating tools up to 3.1 inches in diameter when adjacent tools are loaded and up to 5.1 inches when spaces are empty. The maximum tool length is 11.8 inches with a maximum tool weight of 15.4 pounds. Rapid traverse rates achieve 1,260 inches per minute on the XY axes and 944 inches per minute on the Z-axis, which is also the maximum programmable feedrate. The machine occupies a floor space of approximately 199.2 by 154.4 inches with a total height of 127.5 inches and weighs about 16,830 pounds. It has logged 2,211 spindle hours and 3,058 total machine hours, signaling moderate operational use. Computing resources include a 2.7 GHz dual-core processor, 4 GB RAM, a 128 GB solid-state hard drive, and block look-ahead capacity of 10,000, supporting efficient CNC program execution and machining strategy planning. This combination of mechanical and control specifications positions the machine for high-performance, flexible machining of large and heavy workpieces.
