Hurco unveils the VM15Di (XYZ Travels: 30" x 16" x 20"), which it says combines productivity, technology and value. The VM15Di three-axis machining center reduces cutting times and heat transfer. It boasts a table size of 35.4" x 16", with a table load of 1,500 lbs. and rapid feed/cutting feed of 1,417/1,181 IPM.
The quick and quiet direct drive spindle and CAT40 BIG-PLUS tooling is said to provide improved surface finishes. It features spindle speed of 12,000 rpm, with 22.8 HP and 24 ATC stations.
The Hurco VM Series milling machines offer versatility and productivity with a compact footprint, one-piece machine base and solid case iron frame. The company says these small CNC machines are loaded with big capacity, productivity and user flexibility.
The Hurco VM15Di is equipped with the Hurco control powered by WinMax software and the specialized motion system UltiMotion. The control is designed to maximize productivity and profitability by supporting multiple programming methods: conversational programming; NC programming; and a Hurco-specific feature called NC/Conversational Merge that optimizes efficiency even further. Additionally, the Hurco control’s technical specifications feature 4 GB RAM, 128 GB Solid State Drive, and 10,000 block look ahead.
