Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Hurco. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Hurco VMX30UDi is the middle spindle option of the VMX30U five-axis family: a 15,000 rpm CAT 40 spindle rated 15 kW (20 hp) and 95.5 Nm (70.4 ft-lb), on a frame with 762 mm (30 in) of X, 508 mm (20 in) of Y and 521 mm (20.52 in) of Z. The rotary table is 248 mm (9.8 in) × 248 mm (9.8 in) and carries 200 kg (440 lb).

The three VMX30U models share the travels, the table and the 40-tool magazine, and differ in the spindle. The VMX30Ui stops at 12,000 rpm with 13.4 kW (18 hp) but lists 213.3 Nm (157.3 ft-lb). The VMX30UHSi runs to 20,000 rpm on HSK-63A with 35 kW (47 hp). The UDi sits between them: faster than the Ui for aluminium, but it keeps CAT 40 holders, which the UHSi does not.

The spindle rating is the same as on the three-axis VMX30Di, so a shop running that machine can expect the same cutting behaviour from its tools here. What changes is the workholding. The VMX30Di has a 1,020 mm (40.16 in) × 510 mm (20.08 in) table for 1,500 kg (3,300 lb) and 610 mm (24.02 in) of Z. On the VMX30UDi the part sits on the 248 mm (9.8 in) platter, with 762 mm (30 in) of X travel available to work around it.

The magazine holds 40 tools with 2 sec tool-to-tool, for tools up to 76 mm (3 in) across, 300 mm (11.8 in) long and 7 kg (15.4 lb). The C axis turns 360° at 25 rpm. No tilt range is given in the listed figures, so ask for it alongside the quotation. Spindle nose to table is listed as 90 mm (3.54 in) and the machine weighs 5,940 kg (13,068 lb). WinMax, Hurco's own control, handles conversational and G-code programs.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

15,000 rpm CAT 40 spindle rated 15 kW (20 hp) and 95.5 Nm (70.4 ft-lb)
Same spindle rating as the three-axis VMX30Di, so tooling and cutting data carry over
762 mm (30 in) of X travel around a 248 mm (9.8 in) rotary table
40-tool magazine with 2 sec tool-to-tool
Accepts tools up to 300 mm (11.8 in) long and 7 kg (15.4 lb)

Limitations

The rotary table is 248 mm (9.8 in) square and rated for 200 kg (440 lb)
Less torque than the VMX30Ui, which lists 213.3 Nm (157.3 ft-lb)
Spindle speed is below the 20,000 rpm of the VMX30UHSi
The listed figures give a 360° C axis but no tilt range

Best For

Small five-axis parts in aluminium and steel with CAT 40 holders Shops running a VMX30Di that want rotary work with the same tools Parts that fit a 248 mm (9.8 in) square table Workpieces and fixtures up to 200 kg (440 lb)

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the VMX30UDi differ from the VMX30Ui and VMX30UHSi?

Only in the spindle and its related figures. The VMX30UDi runs to 15,000 rpm on CAT 40 with 15 kW (20 hp). The VMX30Ui runs to 12,000 rpm with 13.4 kW (18 hp), and the VMX30UHSi to 20,000 rpm on HSK-63A with 35 kW (47 hp). Travels, table and magazine are shared.

02 What size parts fit on the VMX30UDi?

The rotary table is 248 mm (9.8 in) × 248 mm (9.8 in) and carries 200 kg (440 lb). Travels are 762 mm (30 in) in X, 508 mm (20 in) in Y and 521 mm (20.52 in) in Z, so the limit is usually the table and its load rating, not the stroke.

03 Can the VMX30UDi use my existing CAT 40 tools?

Yes, the spindle taper is CAT 40. Tools can be up to 76 mm (3 in) in diameter, 300 mm (11.8 in) long and 7 kg (15.4 lb), held in a 40-tool magazine with a 2 sec tool-to-tool time.

04 How heavy is the VMX30UDi?

The machine weighs 5,940 kg (13,068 lb). That is heavier than the 4,940 kg (10,891 lb) VMX30Ui, so check floor loading and rigging against the figure for the exact model being bought.
