VMX 30 Machining Center

The VMX30 is armed with the largest travels in its class (30x20x24”). It’s also built to handle the demands of shops needing big output but having only limited space.

The high-speed feed rates ensure superior finish quality and Hurco’s control system makes the VMX30 a machine with far more capability and capacity than those costing significantly more. It’s also an ideal platform for Hurco’s optional rotary tables for applications requiring 4th axis capabilities.

The 24-station automatic tool changer goes from tool to tool in three seconds. That’s just more evidence that the VMX30 is about speed as much as it is power.

The VMX30 can be upgraded to feature a higher-speed, 15,000 RPM spindle.

All Hurco VMX models include many standard features that are typically offered as options on most other vertical machining center brands.
