Why VFS on a Hurco

Designed for Hurco VM and VMX

Bolts to the stock Hurco table. Plate stays mounted between jobs so the next vacuum job is already set up. Conical locators replace dowel pins for repeatable fixture swaps without the alignment fiddling.

What’s In the Box

Every Hurco VFS plate includes:

  • Vacuum fixture plate, machined for your machine’s table.
  • Integrated vacuum chuck and fixture grid. No separate chuck to mount.
  • Conical locators for fast, repeatable fixture swaps.
  • Mounting hardware and installation guide.

Hurco Installation

Installs like a standard fixture plate.

Plate mounts to Hurco T-slot table using low-profile SHCS. Installation is straightforward  –  no modifications to the machine.

Vacuum Supply

Two options if your machine doesn’t have built-in vacuum.

If your Hurco doesn’t have built-in vacuum, you have two options. The Magnetic Venturi Kit is the right choice for wet machining (flood coolant) since venturis pass fluid through without needing filtration, and it’s the most cost-effective entry. For dry machining or dedicated production, a vacuum pump is more efficient long-term. The plate works with any source pulling 20 inches of mercury or better.

Hurco Vacuum Fixture Plate FAQs

Practical questions about using vacuum fixture plates on Hurco VM and VMX CNC machines, including setup, part types, and day-to-day workholding.

Hurco vacuum fixture plates are best suited for flat or thin parts that need full top-surface access. Typical use cases include:

  • Aluminum plate and sheet
  • Plastic and composite parts
  • Medium-size components that don’t sit well in a vise

Parts that benefit from even support across the full surface tend to perform best.

Yes. A vacuum fixture plate can stay mounted on the table and be removed when needed. Many shops switch between:

  • Vacuum workholding for plate and flat parts
  • Vises or fixtures for smaller or heavier cuts

This allows one machine to handle a wider range of jobs without permanent setup changes.

A Hurco vacuum fixture plate mounts directly to the machine’s T-slot table using standard hardware. No drilling or modification is required. The plate installs like a standard fixture plate and can be removed and reinstalled as needed.

Yes, when properly set up. The plate can be faced in-situ to match the machine’s level, and conical locators provide repeatable positioning for fixtures and sub-plates. The VFS supports consistent results across multiple runs.

The main difference is machine size and table capacity. VM machines are more compact, while VMX machines offer larger tables and travel. The vacuum fixture plate must match the table size and layout, but the workholding approach remains the same.

Not always. Two common options are used:

  • A venturi system running on shop air, typically for wet machining
  • A vacuum pump for dry machining or production setups

Both provide sufficient vacuum depending on the application.
