Technical Description
The HURCO VMX50I-50T is a robust vertical machining center designed for high-precision and heavy-duty manufacturing applications. It features a powerful 29.7 HP (22.1 kW) spindle motor capable of a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM, suitable for a wide range of cutting operations. The machine offers substantial work envelope dimensions with a 50-inch X-axis travel, 26-inch Y-axis travel, and 24-inch Z-axis travel, facilitating large and complex part machining. Its table measures 59 inches in length and 26 inches in width (1,500 x 660 mm), supporting a maximum load capacity around 3,000 lbs (1,360 kg), providing excellent stability and rigidity for heavy workpieces. The machine stands at 118.6 inches tall and weighs approximately 20,636 pounds, ensuring a stable platform that minimizes vibrations for accurate machining. The spindle utilizes a CAT/BT 50 taper for heavy tooling and effective torque transmission. The VMX50I-50T integrates advanced control via Hurco's WinMax CNC system, supporting efficient programming, tool management, and precision probing. Additional features often include a 30-tool automatic tool changer, coolant-through-spindle capability, and chip conveyor options, enhancing productivity in batch production and prototype development. This machine combines rigid construction, precision linear guideways, and a high-torque spindle, making it ideal for mold making, die work, and other demanding applications requiring consistent, high-quality machining results.
