How much does the TRAK VMC10si cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the TRAK VMC10si that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The TRAK VMC10si offers 40 x 20 x 20 in (1,016 x 508 x 508 mm) of travel over a 44.09 x 19.69 in (1,120 x 500 mm) table rated for 2,024 lbs (918 kg). It is a 40 Taper vertical machining center with a 12,000 rpm spindle and a dual-arm tool changer.
Start with the table, because that is where it differs from its neighbours. The VMC7si has a 35.43 x 19.69 in (900 x 500 mm) table and a 1,518 lbs (689 kg) load limit. The VMC12si goes to 51.18 x 23.62 in (1,300 x 600 mm) and 2,530 lbs (1,148 kg), with a 67 hp (50.0 kW) peak spindle. The VMC10si sits between them on length and load while keeping the spindle of the smaller machine: 41.5 hp (30.9 kW) peak / 20.1 hp (15.0 kW) continuous at 480V, 10 - 12,000 rpm.
Long X with 20 in of Y favours rows of parts. Soft-limit travel is 40.35 x 20.24 x 20.24 in (1,025 x 514 x 514 mm), slightly over the nominal figures, and the 44.09 in table is longer than the X stroke. Daylight under the spindle nose is 3.5 in (89 mm) to 23.50 in (597 mm).
Magazine capacity is 24 tools, with 30 optional, exchanged by the arm in 2.5 s. Limits per tool are 3.07 in (78 mm) in diameter and 18 lbs (8 kg) including holder. The holder standard is CAT40 unless the BT40 option is ordered, which involves a different ATC arm. Both rapid traverse and maximum cutting feed are 1,000 ipm (25.4 m/min), and a through-spindle coolant pump is listed at 3 kW / 4 HP and 319 psi.
Net weight is 9,900 lbs (4,491 kg), 10,250 lbs shipping. The electrical supply is 480 V three-phase at 41 A, or 208 V at 94 A with the transformer option.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 2,024 lbs (918 kg) table load on a 44.09 x 19.69 in (1,120 x 500 mm) table
- 40 in (1,016 mm) of X travel, against 30 in (762 mm) on the VMC7si
- 12,000 rpm with 41.5 hp (30.9 kW) peak / 20.1 hp (15.0 kW) continuous at 480V
- 24 tools as built and 30 optional, where the TMC10 on the same table size has 16
- 1,000 ipm (25.4 m/min) for both rapid traverse and maximum cutting feed
Limitations
- Y and Z remain 20 in (508 mm); more needs the VMC12si with its 51.18 x 23.62 in (1,300 x 600 mm) table
- Peak power is the 41.5 hp (30.9 kW) of the VMC7si, not the 67 hp (50.0 kW) of the VMC12si
- Requires 480 V at 41 A, or the transformer option and 94 A at 208 V
- Tools above 3.07 in (78 mm) in diameter or 18 lbs (8 kg) do not fit the changer
- Switching to BT40 means the optional ATC arm

The TMC10 lists 8,000 rpm standard, 15 hp (11.2 kW) peak, a 16-tool carousel and a 1,760 lbs (798 kg) table load. The VMC10si lists 12,000 rpm, 41.5 hp (30.9 kW) peak at 480V, 24 tools on a dual-arm changer and 2,024 lbs (918 kg).
04
The table has a coolant-through-spindle row giving a 3 kW / 4 HP pump at 319 psi. It does not say whether the system is included or an extra, so confirm that on the quotation. The coolant tank holds 60 gal (227 L).
05
The listed footprint is 144 x 112 in (3,658 x 2,845 mm) with chip conveyor and coolant tank, and height is 93.5 in (2,375 mm) minimum or 108 in (2,743 mm) with the head fully up. Power is 480 V three-phase at 41 A (432–528 V is acceptable), or 208 V at 94 A with the transformer option.
