"Not many
machining centers with a 24-inch X-axis travel and 20-inch Y-axis travel have a
footprint as small as the VMX24 (85.8" x 91")," said a Hurco spokesperson. "As
with all Hurco machines, the VMX24 comes with the most powerful control
available. It's also rigidly constructed to eliminate vibrations-even under the
heaviest cutting conditions. The standard, 10,000 RPM spindle compares favorably
to machining centers that cost considerably more.
"The 24-station automatic tool changer goes from tool to tool in just three seconds. That's just more evidence that the VMX24 is about speed as much as it is about power. The VMX24 can be upgraded to feature a higher-speed, 15,000 RPM spindle and all Hurco VMX models include many standard features that are typically offered as options on most other brands of vertical machining centers."
According to the company, VMX24 features and options include:
Larger work cube of 24" x 20" x 24".
9,260 lbs solid frame design using FEA.
24-station, automatic, swing-arm tool changer.
