2008 HURCO VMX50T VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2008 Hurco VMX50T is a 5-axis vertical machining center built on the large-envelope VMX50 platform and configured with an integrated trunnion table for simultaneous 5-axis machining capability. The machine delivers 50-inch X-axis travel, 26-inch Y-axis travel, and 24-inch Z-axis travel with a 59-inch by 26-inch base table. The integrated trunnion provides A-axis tilt and C-axis rotation, enabling workpieces to be fixtured once and machined on up to five faces without repositioning, eliminating re-fixturing errors and significantly reducing total setup time. The CAT 40 spindle delivers 24 horsepower at up to 10,000 RPM, providing effective cutting performance across aluminum, steel, titanium, and complex engineering alloys. Hurco WinMax CNC system provides conversational and G-code programming with 5-axis toolpath simulation and direct CAM post support, allowing operators to program and verify complex 5-axis jobs efficiently. The UltiMotion motion control engine maintains optimized axis acceleration profiles during simultaneous multi-axis motion for improved surface finish and accuracy. A high-capacity automatic tool changer supports complex multi-operation jobs without manual intervention. The rigid cast-iron structure provides the thermal stability and vibration damping necessary for precision 5-axis work. At approximately 20,100 pounds, the VMX50T is a substantial machine well suited to aerospace, medical device, and precision mold and die manufacturers requiring 5-axis flexibility in a large-travel VMC format.
