2021 Hurco VM-1 CNC Vertical Machining Center

The 2021 Hurco VM-1 CNC Vertical Machining Center is a compact, performance-focused mill equipped with a 30 inch by 16 inch table supporting up to 3300 pounds. Its 10-horsepower CAT 40 Big Plus spindle reaches 8000 RPM, with 660 mm X, 406 mm Y, and 356 mm Z travels. The Winmax Classic control is paired with a 16-station automatic tool changer, a chip auger for efficient swarf removal, and a Renishaw OMP400/OTS probing package for advanced part and tool setup. It offers a working envelope from 3 inches to 17 inches spindle nose-to-table, supported by flood coolant and a 3-phase, 230-volt electrical system.

When compared to entry-level VMCs with lighter load capacities or less probing integration, the VM-1 distinguishes itself with its robust 3300-pound table load, Renishaw touch systems, and Hurco’s intelligent control platform. Machines without rigid tapping or DXF import capability simply do not match its flexibility for shops demanding CAD-to-part efficiency.
