It's time someone looked differently at machining graphite. That's exactly what Hurco did, and it's what led to the remarkable VM1 Graphite.
This mill is identical to the standard VM1, but with some not-so-subtle differences that make it ideal for graphite work.
First, it has a very high-speed spindle ensuring quality performance. The standard version is 20,000 rpm. There's an even faster option, capable of 30,000 rpm.
It is also tightly enclosed and has positive air flow to remove the dust. Hurco can provide a vacuum system or you can use your own.
Already a one-of-a-kind graphite capable machine, the VM1 Graphite goes further by offering the flexibility that no other machine on the market can offer -- the Hurco control and software automation options.
All of this in such an attractive package.
