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 VMX84i-50T is the heaviest machine in this group of VMX sizes: a three-axis vertical machining center weighing 16,936 kg (37,260 lb), with 2,134 mm (84.02 in) of X, 864 mm (34.02 in) of Y and 762 mm (30 in) of Z. A CAT 50 spindle supplies 22.2 kW (29.7 hp) and 353.3 Nm (260.6 ft-lb) up to 8,000 rpm, over a 2,184 × 865 mm (85.98 × 34.06 in) table rated 2,268 kg (5,000 lb).

This is the combination for long parts that also need heavy metal removal. Frames, weldments, press components and long steel bars can be roughed along the full X stroke with large face mills, since the changer accepts tools up to 125 mm (4.92 in) in diameter and 15 kg (33 lb). Tool length runs to 300 mm (11.8 in), and with 762 mm (30 in) of Z and the spindle nose reaching 127 mm (5 in) from the table, long 50-taper assemblies still leave room for a riser or angle plate.

The CAT 40 VMX84i shares the travels and table and is the better fit for lighter, faster work: 12,000 rpm and a 40-tool magazine against 8,000 rpm and 32 tools here, but only 238.7 Nm (176.1 ft-lb) and a 76 mm (3 in) tool limit. Tool-to-tool time on the VMX84i-50T is 4 sec, which counts on parts with many short operations and matters little on long roughing cycles.

The table rating deserves attention on a bed this long. At 2,268 kg (5,000 lb) it is lower than the 2,722 kg (6,000 lb) of the shorter VMX64i-50T, so a full-length steel plate with its fixturing should be weighed before it is craned on. The machine runs Hurco's WinMax control, which takes conversational programs as well as NC code.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

CAT 50 spindle with 353.3 Nm (260.6 ft-lb) and 22.2 kW (29.7 hp) on a 2,134 mm (84.02 in) X axis
Tools up to 125 mm (4.92 in) in diameter and 15 kg (33 lb), against 76 mm (3 in) and 7 kg (15.4 lb) on the VMX84i
762 mm (30 in) of Z for long 50-taper tools over tall work
2,184 × 865 mm (85.98 × 34.06 in) table for long frames and weldments
16,936 kg (37,260 lb) of machine mass behind heavy cuts

Limitations

8,000 rpm top speed, against 12,000 rpm on the VMX84i
32-tool magazine, fewer than the 40 tools of the VMX84i
4 sec tool-to-tool slows cycles with many tool changes
2,268 kg (5,000 lb) table load, lower than the 2,722 kg (6,000 lb) of the VMX64i-50T

Best For

Roughing long steel frames, bars and weldments along 2,134 mm (84.02 in) of X Large face mills and boring heads up to 125 mm (4.92 in) and 15 kg (33 lb) Press and die components that need 762 mm (30 in) of Z Cast iron and steel work where torque matters more than spindle speed

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the VMX84i-50T and the VMX84i?

The spindle and tooling. The VMX84i-50T has CAT 50, 8,000 rpm, 22.2 kW (29.7 hp) and 353.3 Nm (260.6 ft-lb), with 32 tools up to 125 mm (4.92 in). The VMX84i has CAT 40, 12,000 rpm, 18 kW (24 hp) and 238.7 Nm (176.1 ft-lb), with 40 tools up to 76 mm (3 in). Travels, table and the 2,268 kg (5,000 lb) load are shared.

02 How long a part can the VMX84i-50T machine in one setup?

X travel is 2,134 mm (84.02 in) on a 2,184 × 865 mm (85.98 × 34.06 in) table, with 864 mm (34.02 in) of Y. Parts longer than the X stroke need a second setup, and very long, heavy parts must also stay within the 2,268 kg (5,000 lb) table rating.

03 Should I choose the VMX84i-50T or the VMX64i-50T?

Both have the same CAT 50 spindle, 864 mm (34.02 in) of Y and 762 mm (30 in) of Z. The VMX84i-50T adds X, 2,134 mm (84.02 in) against 1,626 mm (64.02 in) on the VMX64i-50T. The VMX64i-50T has the higher table load at 2,722 kg (6,000 lb) and a wider 1,676 × 889 mm (65.98 × 35 in) table.

04 What does the VMX84i-50T need on the shop floor?

Hurco lists a machine weight of 16,936 kg (37,260 lb), so plan a suitable foundation, rigging and crane access for the long bed, plus up to 2,268 kg (5,000 lb) of work on the table. Loading long parts also calls for clear space along the 2,184 mm (85.98 in) table.
