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 VMX84SWi is a large-format 5-axis machining center with 2,134 x 864 x 762 mm (84.02 x 34.02 x 30 in) of travel and a 2,184 x 865 mm (85.98 x 34.05 in) table rated for 2,268 kg (5,000 lb). Its B axis tilts +92° to -92° at 33.3 rpm, and 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 envelope is the same as Hurco's 3-axis VMX84i: identical travels, the same 2,268 kg (5,000 lb) table rating and the same 16,730 kg (36,806 lb) machine weight. What the VMX84SWi changes is the spindle and the B axis. The VMX84i has 238.7 Nm (176.1 ft-lb) from 18 kW (24 hp), so it pulls harder at low speed, while the VMX84SWi has twice the peak power and the ability to tilt. The VMX84i-50T goes further toward heavy cutting with a CAT 50 spindle at 8,000 rpm and 353.3 Nm (260.6 ft-lb), but 32 tools. The VMX84SWi is the one to choose when the parts have angled features, not when the metal removal rate is the limit.

The VMX60SWi, with 1,524 x 661 x 610 mm (60 x 26.02 x 24.02 in) of travel, is the smaller SW machine on the same spindle. On the VMX84SWi the B axis is slower, 33.3 rpm against 50 rpm on the VMX60SWi, and tool-to-tool time is 2.5 sec. The listed table shows only the B axis; confirm with Hurco how part rotation is handled if the work needs it.

The 40-tool magazine takes tools up to 76 mm (3 in) in diameter, 250 mm (9.8 in) long and 7 kg (15.4 lb). Spindle nose to table is listed at 127 mm (5 in). At 16,730 kg (36,806 lb) the machine needs rigging and a floor assessed before delivery. It runs Hurco's WinMax control with conversational and NC programming.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

2,134 x 864 x 762 mm (84.02 x 34.02 x 30 in) of travel, larger on every axis than the 1,524 x 661 x 610 mm VMX60SWi
2,184 x 865 mm (85.98 x 34.05 in) table rated for 2,268 kg (5,000 lb)
B axis tilts +92° to -92° for angled holes and faces on large parts
36.5 kW (48 hp) peak spindle power, twice the 18 kW (24 hp) of the 3-axis VMX84i
40-tool magazine with tools up to 76 mm (3 in) in diameter

Limitations

B axis turns at 33.3 rpm, slower than the 50 rpm of the VMX60SWi
Torque is 120.2 Nm (88.7 ft-lb), about half the 238.7 Nm (176.1 ft-lb) of the VMX84i
Tool-to-tool time is 2.5 sec and tool length is capped at 250 mm (9.8 in)
Weighs 16,730 kg (36,806 lb), so floor, rigging and access need planning
The listed table gives no C axis, so check how part rotation is provided

Best For

Long, wide parts up to 2,268 kg (5,000 lb) that need B-axis tilt Large plates, frames and housings within a 2,184 x 865 mm (85.98 x 34.05 in) table Angled features on big parts that would otherwise need a second setup Aluminium structures where the 12,000 rpm spindle and 36.5 kW (48 hp) do the work

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the VMX84SWi differ from the VMX84i?

Travels, table load and machine weight are the same. The VMX84i is a 3-axis machine with an 18 kW (24 hp), 238.7 Nm (176.1 ft-lb) spindle. The VMX84SWi adds a B axis of +92° to -92° and uses a 36.5 kW (48 hp), 120.2 Nm (88.7 ft-lb) spindle, so it has more power at speed and less torque low down.

02 Why choose the VMX84SWi over the VMX84i-50T?

The VMX84i-50T is built for heavy cutting, with a CAT 50 spindle at 8,000 rpm, 353.3 Nm (260.6 ft-lb) and 32 tools, on the same 2,134 x 864 x 762 mm travels. The VMX84SWi suits parts with angled features, using its B axis, its 12,000 rpm CAT 40 spindle and 40 tools.

03 How much bigger is the VMX84SWi than the VMX60SWi?

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

04 What are the B-axis specifications of the VMX84SWi?

The B axis covers +92° to -92° and moves at 33.3 rpm. No C axis row appears in the listed table, so ask Hurco how the machine handles part rotation if your work needs it.
