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 VMX60SRTi is a long-table 5-axis machining center: 1,524 x 661 x 610 mm (60 x 26.02 x 24.02 in) of travel over a 1,680 x 660 mm (66.14 x 25.98 in) table, with a B axis that swings +92° to -92° and a C axis that turns 360°. The spindle is a 12,000 rpm CAT 40 unit rated 36.5 kW (48 hp) and 120.2 Nm (88.7 ft-lb).

A table that long changes what 5-axis work looks like. Instead of a part sitting on a small rotary table, the VMX60SRTi takes long workpieces, or a row of fixtures along X, rated together at up to 1,360 kg (3,000 lb). With the B axis tilting to 92° either way, angled holes and faces on the ends and sides of such parts can be reached without re-clamping.

The rotary axes are quick for their size. B moves at 50 rpm and C at 100 rpm, so indexing between faces costs little cycle time. Hurco lists a spindle-nose-to-table distance of 12 mm (0.47 in), far closer than the 102 mm (4.01 in) of the VMX60SWi, which is worth confirming against your shortest tool and part.

The closest alternative is the VMX60SWi. The VMX60SWi shares the travels, table size and spindle, but its listed table shows only the B axis, it carries more weight at 2,000 kg (4,410 lb) and the machine is lighter at 9,900 kg (21,780 lb). The VMX60SRTi weighs 10,900 kg (23,980 lb). Choose it when the part has to rotate as well as tilt; choose the VMX60SWi when the workpiece is heavier and B-axis tilt is enough.

The 40-tool magazine changes in 2 sec and takes tools up to 76 mm (3 in) in diameter, 250 mm (9.8 in) long and 7 kg (15.4 lb). Control is Hurco's WinMax, with conversational and NC programming.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

B axis of +92° to -92° at 50 rpm plus a 360° C axis at 100 rpm
1,680 x 660 mm (66.14 x 25.98 in) table rated for 1,360 kg (3,000 lb), against 400 kg (880 lb) on the older VMX60Ui
1,524 x 661 x 610 mm (60 x 26.02 x 24.02 in) of travel for long parts or several fixtures along X
12,000 rpm CAT 40 spindle rated 36.5 kW (48 hp) and 120.2 Nm (88.7 ft-lb)
40-tool magazine with a 2 sec tool-to-tool time

Limitations

Table load is 1,360 kg (3,000 lb), less than the 2,000 kg (4,410 lb) of the VMX60SWi on the same travels
Maximum tool length is 250 mm (9.8 in), shorter than the 300 mm (11.8 in) of the older VMX60Ui
120.2 Nm (88.7 ft-lb) of torque limits large face mills and heavy roughing in steel
Weighs 10,900 kg (23,980 lb), more than the 9,900 kg (21,780 lb) VMX60SWi, so check floor loading before delivery

Best For

Long parts up to the 1,680 mm (66.14 in) table length that need 5-axis access Several fixtures set along X for multi-part 5-axis runs Parts that need both B-axis tilt and C-axis rotation in one setup Workpieces and fixtures up to 1,360 kg (3,000 lb)

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the VMX60SRTi and the VMX60SWi?

Travels, table size and spindle are the same. The VMX60SRTi has a 360° C axis at 100 rpm in addition to the B axis, a 1,360 kg (3,000 lb) table rating and a weight of 10,900 kg (23,980 lb). The VMX60SWi lists only the B axis, carries 2,000 kg (4,410 lb) and weighs 9,900 kg (21,780 lb).

02 How fast are the rotary axes on the VMX60SRTi?

The B axis covers +92° to -92° at 50 rpm and the C axis turns 360° at 100 rpm. Those speeds keep indexing between faces short on parts with many angled features.

03 How does the VMX60SRTi compare with the VMX42SRTi?

The VMX42SRTi is the shorter machine, with 1,067 x 610 x 610 mm (42 x 24.01 x 24.01 in) of travel, a 1,270 x 610 mm (50 x 24.01 in) table and a weight of 8,400 kg (18,520 lb). Both carry 1,360 kg (3,000 lb) and use the same 36.5 kW (48 hp), 12,000 rpm CAT 40 spindle, so the VMX60SRTi is the choice when the part is longer, not heavier.

04 What size tools does the VMX60SRTi take?

The magazine holds 40 CAT 40 tools and changes tool-to-tool in 2 sec. Each tool can be up to 76 mm (3 in) in diameter, 250 mm (9.8 in) long and 7 kg (15.4 lb). Check long drills and extended holders against the 250 mm limit.
