The VC and VCX machines use a universal 5-axis design: the B-axis trunnion tilts around Y a full 110 degrees in both directions, so the tool approaches the part from a safe direction and shorter tools can be used on undercuts. Simultaneous 5-axis motion, not just 3+2, with hydraulic tilt and rotary braking.
Specifications for the Hurco VC500i are listed below in imperial and metric, as published in the June 2025 Hurco product catalog. Every Hurco machine runs the Hurco control powered by WinMax, with conversational, NC, and merged programming, and the patented UltiMotion motion system. Sold and supported in Southern California by MASCO.
