Hurco Introduces the VMXDi Series



Hurco has taken the workhorse VMXi Series of performance CNC machines and launched its newest iteration that features a direct drive spindle. The new VMXDi Series includes the VMX24Di (travels 24" x 20" x 24"), VMX30Di (travels 30" x 20" x 24") and the VMX42Di (travels 42" x 24" x 24").

The VMXi series offers a high level of performance whether customers are running batch production or die/mold work. With the new direct drive spindle, the VMXDi series offers a better surface finish, quieter spindle and less head growth. It also includes a 15,000-RPM spindle, improved chip-to-chip time (2,000 RPM, 12" Z-travel in 4 seconds), faster spindle acceleration and deceleration (0-15,000 RPM in 3.2 seconds, 15,000 - 0 RPM in 2.4 seconds).

The Hurco VMX42Di is equipped with the Hurco control powered by WinMax software and the patented motion system called UltiMotion (www.hurco.com/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 designed to optimize efficiency even further. "Additionally, the Hurco control's technical specifications lead the industry with 4 GB RAM, 128 GB solid state drive and 10,000 block look ahead," said a company spokesperson.
