2018 HURCO VMX60SWI VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2018 Hurco VMX60SWI is a 5-axis vertical machining center featuring a swivel spindle head (B-axis, plus or minus 92 degrees) and Hurco WinMax i-control across a 60-inch X-axis envelope, providing simultaneous 5-axis contouring capability without an integrated rotary table. The machine provides 60-inch X-axis travel, 26-inch Y-axis travel, and 24-inch Z-axis travel with a 66-inch by 26-inch full-length worktable capable of supporting table loads up to 4,410 pounds. The absence of an integrated C-axis rotary table delivers a larger usable table surface compared to the SRT variants, providing greater flexibility for large flat workpieces, fixtures, or workholding systems where full table access is required. The high-torque spindle delivers 48 horsepower peak at up to 12,000 RPM on a CAT 40 taper, enabling efficient 5-axis cutting across aluminum, steel, titanium, and engineering alloys. The WinMax MAX5 i-control provides conversational and G-code 5-axis programming, DXF import, 3D toolpath simulation, and UltiMotion servo optimization. A 40-tool automatic tool changer supports complex multi-operation jobs. The rigid cast-iron base and precision ballscrews provide excellent thermal stability across extended production runs. At approximately 21,780 pounds, the VMX60SWI is well suited to aerospace, mold and die, and precision fabrication applications requiring 5-axis swivel head capability across a large-travel work envelope without a dedicated integrated rotary table.
