Overview

The Hurco VMX64i-50T is a three-axis vertical machining center that pairs a CAT 50 spindle with a tall working envelope. It travels 1,626 mm (64.02 in) in X, 864 mm (34.02 in) in Y and 762 mm (30 in) in Z, and the 8,000 rpm spindle is rated 22.2 kW (29.7 hp) and 353.3 Nm (260.6 ft-lb). The 1,676 × 889 mm (65.98 × 35 in) table takes 2,722 kg (6,000 lb).

The 50 taper and the 762 mm (30 in) of Z work well together. Large CAT 50 holders with long reach need height, and here a tool up to 300 mm (11.8 in) long can still clear a tall casting or a part on an angle plate. Tools may be up to 125 mm (4.92 in) in diameter and 15 kg (33 lb), so heavy face mills and boring bars fit the changer. Minimum spindle nose to table is 127 mm (5 in).

The VMX6030i-50T has the same spindle but stops at 610 mm (24.02 in) of Z and 2,000 kg (4,410 lb) of table load, and allows tools to 120 mm (4.72 in). The step up to this frame is therefore about height and weight capacity as much as footprint. At the other end, the VMX84i-50T stretches X to 2,134 mm (84.02 in) but carries a lower 2,268 kg (5,000 lb) table rating.

Against the CAT 40 VMX64i on the same frame, the trade is speed and magazine size. The VMX64i runs to 12,000 rpm and offers magazines listed as 30 / 40 / 96 tools; the VMX64i-50T holds 32 tools and changes them in 4 sec tool-to-tool. Its listed weight is 14,600 kg (32,187 lb). WinMax, Hurco's control, runs it in conversational or NC mode.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

762 mm (30 in) of Z with a CAT 50 spindle, room for long heavy tools over tall parts
353.3 Nm (260.6 ft-lb) and 22.2 kW (29.7 hp) for heavy roughing in steel and cast iron
2,722 kg (6,000 lb) table load on a 1,676 × 889 mm (65.98 × 35 in) table
Tools up to 125 mm (4.92 in) in diameter and 15 kg (33 lb)
32-tool magazine, two more pockets than the 30 tools of the VMX6030i-50T

Limitations

8,000 rpm top speed, against 12,000 rpm on the VMX64i
4 sec tool-to-tool slows cycles with many tool changes
32 tools, where the VMX64i can be had with a 96-tool magazine
14,600 kg (32,187 lb) machine weight needs a prepared foundation

Best For

Tall castings and fabrications using 762 mm (30 in) of Z Heavy face milling and boring with tools up to 125 mm (4.92 in) Workpieces and fixtures up to 2,722 kg (6,000 lb) Angle-plate and fixture work on a 1,676 × 889 mm (65.98 × 35 in) table

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the VMX64i-50T and the VMX64i?

The spindle and the magazine. The VMX64i-50T has CAT 50, 8,000 rpm, 22.2 kW (29.7 hp) and 353.3 Nm (260.6 ft-lb), with 32 tools at 4 sec tool-to-tool. The VMX64i has CAT 40, 12,000 rpm, 18 kW (24 hp) and 238.7 Nm (176.1 ft-lb), with magazines listed as 30 / 40 / 96 tools. Travels and table are the same.

02 How tall a part fits under the spindle?

Z travel is 762 mm (30 in), with a minimum spindle nose to table distance of 127 mm (5 in). Subtract the fixture height and the longest tool, up to 300 mm (11.8 in), to find the tallest part you can reach.

03 Why pick the VMX64i-50T over the VMX6030i-50T?

For height and load. The VMX64i-50T has 762 mm (30 in) of Z and a 2,722 kg (6,000 lb) table. The VMX6030i-50T has 610 mm (24.02 in) of Z and a 2,000 kg (4,410 lb) table, on a smaller 1,524 × 762 mm (60 × 30 in) X and Y envelope.

04 What tools does the VMX64i-50T take?

32 CAT 50 tools, each up to 125 mm (4.92 in) in diameter, 300 mm (11.8 in) long and 15 kg (33 lb). Hurco lists a tool-to-tool time of 4 sec.
