2000 HURCO VSX24 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2000 Hurco VSX24 is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Hurco compact VSX series, designed for flexible general-purpose machining in job shop and production environments. The machine provides 24-inch X-axis travel, 20-inch Y-axis travel, and 24-inch Z-axis travel across a 30-inch by 20-inch worktable with a maximum table load capacity of 1,540 pounds. The CAT 40 spindle delivers 12 horsepower at up to 10,000 RPM, enabling efficient cutting of aluminum, steel, and general engineering materials. The 24-tool automatic tool changer enables multi-operation machining without manual tool changes. The VSX24 is equipped with the Hurco Ultimax SSM CNC control, which provides conversational programming capabilities and a well-established user interface. The compact footprint and moderate weight of approximately 9,000 pounds make the VSX24 a practical choice for shops with limited floor space, where a capable mid-size VMC is required without the larger footprint of extended-travel models. The rigid construction provides good thermal stability and vibration damping for general-purpose precision work. The VSX24 is well suited to contract machining, prototype work, and low-to-medium volume production of parts in aluminum, steel, and plastics, making it a versatile and accessible vertical machining center for shops requiring reliable performance in a compact machine format.
