Hurco's vertical machining center


VMXDi series vertical machining centers (VMCs) upgrade the workhorse VMXi series by adding a direct-drive spindle. The series includes:

  • VMX24Di: 24" x 20" x 24" travels
  • VMX30Di: 30" x 20" x 24" travels
  • VMX42Di: 42” x 24” x 24” travels

With the new direct drive spindle, the VMXDi series boasts a better surface finish, quieter spindle, and less head growth. It also includes a 15,000rpm spindle, improved chip-to-chip time (2,000rpm, 12” Z-travel in 4 seconds), faster spindle acceleration and deceleration (0rpm to15,000rpm in 3.2 seconds, 15,000rpm to 0rpm in 2.4 seconds).

The Hurco VMX42Di is equipped with the Hurco control powered by WinMax software and the patented motion system called UltiMotion. The control helps machinists and job shops be more productive and profitable by supporting many programming methods: conversational programming; NC programming; and a Hurco-specific feature called NC/Conversational Merge that optimizes efficiency even further.

Additionally, the Hurco control’s technical specifications lead the industry with 4GB RAM, 128GB solid state drive, and 10,000 block look ahead.
