Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from Hurco. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Hurco VM-ONE is a compact, plainly specified member of the VM line: a 3-axis vertical machining center with 661 × 407 × 356 mm (26.02 × 16.02 × 14.02 in) of travel, an 8,000 rpm CAT 40 spindle rated 7.5 kW (10 hp) and a 16-tool changer. It sits on the same 762 × 406 mm (30 × 15.98 in) table as the VM10i, and the differences between the two are what a buyer is really choosing between.

The main one is Z. The VM-ONE has 356 mm (14.02 in) of Z travel where the VM10i has 508 mm (20 in), and its spindle nose comes down to 76 mm (3 in) from the table. That favours short tools and low workholding. A tall vise, a tombstone or a drill that hangs well out of the holder eats into the stroke quickly, and the changer itself caps tool length at 200 mm (7.9 in).

The spindle is sized for the same kind of work. 49.4 Nm (36.4 ft-lb) and 8,000 rpm suit general steel and aluminium parts with modest cutters; the VM10i runs to 12,000 rpm with 11 kW (15 hp) and 72.4 Nm (53.4 ft-lb). Tools can be up to 89 mm (3.5 in) in diameter and 7 kg (15.4 lb), and a change takes 3.5 sec tool to tool, which is slow next to the 2 sec of the VM10i but rarely decides the cycle on a part with long cuts.

The table is rated for 1,500 kg (3,300 lb), the same as the VM10i, so heavy plates are not the problem; height is. At 2,960 kg (6,512 lb) the VM-ONE is also lighter than the VM10i at 3,230 kg (7,121 lb). Like every Hurco it runs the WinMax control, which programs conversationally at the machine as well as from G-code.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

661 × 407 mm (26.02 × 16.02 in) of X and Y on a 762 × 406 mm (30 × 15.98 in) table, the same footprint for parts as the VM10i
1,500 kg (3,300 lb) table rating, matching the larger VM15Di
Takes tools up to 89 mm (3.5 in) in diameter, wider than the 80 mm (3.15 in) limit of the VM10i
At 2,960 kg (6,512 lb) it is lighter than the VM10i, VM10HSi and VM15Di, which eases rigging and floor loading
WinMax control with conversational programming as well as NC

Limitations

356 mm (14.02 in) of Z travel against 508 mm (20 in) on the VM10i limits tall parts and long tool stacks
Tool length is capped at 200 mm (7.9 in), shorter than the 250 mm (9.8 in) of the VM10i
8,000 rpm and 7.5 kW (10 hp) restrict small-cutter aluminium work and heavier stock removal alike
16 tools and a 3.5 sec tool-to-tool time leave little room for jobs with many operations

Best For

Low-profile plates and brackets that fit within 356 mm (14.02 in) of Z Training, toolroom and one-off parts programmed at the machine General steel and aluminium work at up to 8,000 rpm Shops that need a small 40-taper machine with a light installed weight

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the VM-ONE differ from the VM10i?

Both have 661 × 407 mm (26.02 × 16.02 in) of X and Y and a 762 × 406 mm (30 × 15.98 in) table. The VM-ONE has 356 mm (14.02 in) of Z, an 8,000 rpm 7.5 kW (10 hp) spindle and 16 tools. The VM10i has 508 mm (20 in) of Z, 12,000 rpm, 11 kW (15 hp) and 24 tools.

02 How tall a part can the VM-ONE handle?

Z travel is 356 mm (14.02 in) and the spindle nose reaches 76 mm (3 in) from the table at its lowest. Add the vise or fixture height and the longest tool, up to 200 mm (7.9 in), and check the stack fits within that stroke before committing a tall part.

03 What tools does the VM-ONE's changer accept?

It holds 16 CAT 40 tools. Each can be up to 89 mm (3.5 in) in diameter, 200 mm (7.9 in) long and 7 kg (15.4 lb). Tool-to-tool time is 3.5 sec.

04 How much power and torque does the spindle have?

The CAT 40 spindle is rated 7.5 kW (10 hp) and 49.4 Nm (36.4 ft-lb), with a top speed of 8,000 rpm. That suits general milling and drilling with moderate cutters rather than heavy roughing or high-speed finishing with small end mills.

05 How heavy is the VM-ONE?

The machine weighs 2,960 kg (6,512 lb), and the table is rated for 1,500 kg (3,300 lb) of workpiece and fixturing. Check the floor and the rigging route for the machine weight before delivery.
