New Hurco VMX42SRTi 5-axis machining centre
We've installed a Hurco VMX42SRTi 5-axis machining centre, adding simultaneous 5-axis capacity alongside our existing Hurco machines.
We've installed a new Hurco VMX42SRTi 5-axis machining centre, joining the line of Hurco machines already running in our machine shop.
The VMX42SRTi pairs a swivelling B-axis head with a C-axis rotary table built into the machine bed. That means it can reach five sides of a part in a single set-up, and machine complex shapes with full simultaneous 5-axis moves, without stopping to re-fixture.
At a glance
- Travels: 1,067 mm (X) x 610 mm (Y) x 610 mm (Z)
- B-axis head: swivels ±90°
- C-axis table: rotates through 360°
- Spindle: 12,000 rpm
- Tool changer: 40 tools
What it means for our customers
Fewer set-ups means fewer chances for error, so complex press tools, fixtures and components come off the machine more accurately and more quickly. The extra capacity also shortens lead times on prototype tooling and low-volume machined parts, and it keeps more of that work under our own roof.
It's the latest step in our continued investment in equipment, so we can keep taking parts from prototype to production for our customers.
