2016 Hurco VMX42SWi 5-Axis CNC Vertical Mill

The 2016 Hurco VMX42SWi is a high-performance 5-axis vertical machining center featuring 42" X, 24" Y, and 24" Z travels, a swiveling head with ±92° B-axis tilt, and a 12,000?RPM, 48?HP BT-40 spindle with 88.7?ft-lb torque. It includes a 50" x 24" trunnion table supporting up to 3,850?lb, a 40-tool side-mount ATC, and robust rapid traverse rates up to 1,496?IPM on X/Y and 1,260?IPM on Z. Equipped with 300?psi through-spindle coolant, full-axis scales, touch setter, chip conveyor, WinMax control with 5th-axis software, and mist collector prep—making it ideal for lights-out production of aerospace, mold, and die components.

Suited for operations requiring full 5-axis capabilities, the VMX42SWi outpaces standard 3-axis mills by enabling simultaneous multi-faced machining and improved tool access with less repositioning. Unlike tilt-rotary conversions, its swivel-head design maintains a stationary workpiece table for stable cutting, superior chip evacuation, and uninterrupted part setups—resulting in greater precision and throughput.
