2015 HURCO VMX64i/50T VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2015 Hurco VMX64i/50T is a 3-axis vertical machining center combining the large-envelope VMX64 platform, CAT 50 spindle taper, and Hurco WinMax i-control (MAX5) for heavy-duty cutting with modern CNC performance. The machine provides 64-inch X-axis travel, 34-inch Y-axis travel, and 30-inch Z-axis travel across a 66-inch by 35-inch worktable with a 6,000-pound table load capacity. The CAT 50 spindle delivers approximately 30 horsepower at up to 8,000 RPM, generating the high torque necessary for aggressive material removal in steel, cast iron, titanium, and large structural components. The machine overall footprint measures approximately 250 inches long by 176 inches wide with a height of approximately 128 inches. The WinMax i-control provides UltiMotion servo optimization, high-resolution touchscreen, conversational and G-code programming, DXF import, and integrated 3D simulation. The UltiMotion algorithm continuously adjusts axis velocity profiles to optimize surface finish and cycle time during contouring operations. A 32-tool automatic tool changer supports multi-operation machining without manual intervention. The rigid cast-iron base, column, and saddle construction provide excellent thermal stability and vibration damping for precision work across extended production runs. At approximately 32,187 pounds, the VMX64i/50T is a substantial machine well suited to heavy-duty aerospace, die and mold, and large-part machining environments where extended travel, high torque, and modern i-control CNC capability are all required.
