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 VMX60SWi is a 5-axis machining center that pairs 1,524 x 661 x 610 mm (60 x 26.02 x 24.02 in) of travel with a heavy-duty table: 1,680 x 660 mm (66.14 x 25.98 in), rated for 2,000 kg (4,410 lb). The rotary motion in its listed table is a B axis of +92° to -92° at 50 rpm.

Table capacity is the reason to pick it. The VMX60SRTi has the same travels, table size and spindle but carries 1,360 kg (3,000 lb), and the older VMX60Ui trunnion machine was rated at 400 kg (880 lb). On the VMX60SWi a long steel part with its fixtures can go up to 2,000 kg (4,410 lb) and still be machined at an angle. The machine itself is the lighter of the two current VMX60 5-axis models, at 9,900 kg (21,780 lb) against 10,900 kg (23,980 lb) for the VMX60SRTi.

No C axis appears in the listed table for this model, whereas the VMX60SRTi lists a 360° C axis at 100 rpm. If the work needs the part itself to rotate, confirm with Hurco how the VMX60SWi provides it before ordering. For angled holes, chamfers and faces reached by tilting through B, the table here is enough.

The spindle is a 12,000 rpm CAT 40 unit rated 36.5 kW (48 hp) and 120.2 Nm (88.7 ft-lb), the same as on the VMX60SRTi and VMX84SWi. It suits aluminium and finishing in steel; very large face mills want more torque. Spindle nose to table is listed at 102 mm (4.01 in). The 40-tool magazine changes in 2 sec, with tools up to 76 mm (3 in) in diameter, 250 mm (9.8 in) long and 7 kg (15.4 lb). Hurco's WinMax control handles both conversational and NC programs.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Table rated for 2,000 kg (4,410 lb), more than the 1,360 kg (3,000 lb) of the VMX60SRTi
B axis tilts +92° to -92° at 50 rpm for angled features on long parts
1,680 x 660 mm (66.14 x 25.98 in) table with 1,524 mm (60 in) of X travel
12,000 rpm CAT 40 spindle rated 36.5 kW (48 hp)
At 9,900 kg (21,780 lb) it is lighter than the 10,900 kg (23,980 lb) VMX60SRTi

Limitations

The listed table gives no C axis, so confirm how part rotation is provided before quoting full 5-axis work
120.2 Nm (88.7 ft-lb) of torque limits heavy roughing in steel
Tool length tops out at 250 mm (9.8 in), and tools at 76 mm (3 in) in diameter
Y travel of 661 mm (26.02 in) caps part width at roughly the 660 mm (25.98 in) table width

Best For

Heavy long workpieces up to 2,000 kg (4,410 lb) that need B-axis tilt Angled holes and faces on long parts using the ±92° B axis Plates and frames up to 1,680 mm (66.14 in) long Shops that program at the machine with WinMax conversational

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the VMX60SWi differ from the VMX60SRTi?

Travels, table size and spindle are the same. The VMX60SRTi lists a 360° C axis at 100 rpm, carries 1,360 kg (3,000 lb) and weighs 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 Does the VMX60SWi have a C axis?

Hurco's table for the VMX60SWi lists a B axis of +92° to -92° at 50 rpm and no C axis row. If your parts need rotation as well as tilt, ask Hurco how this model is configured, or look at the VMX60SRTi, whose table lists a 360° C axis.

03 How does the VMX60SWi compare with the VMX84SWi?

The VMX84SWi is the larger SW machine, with 2,134 x 864 x 762 mm (84.02 x 34.02 x 30 in) of travel, a 2,184 x 865 mm (85.98 x 34.05 in) table and 2,268 kg (5,000 lb) of capacity. The VMX60SWi has 1,524 x 661 x 610 mm (60 x 26.02 x 24.02 in), a 1,680 x 660 mm (66.14 x 25.98 in) table and 2,000 kg (4,410 lb), on the same spindle.

04 What tools does the VMX60SWi take?

The magazine holds 40 CAT 40 tools and changes tool-to-tool in 2 sec. Tools can be up to 76 mm (3 in) in diameter, 250 mm (9.8 in) long and 7 kg (15.4 lb).
