Machine Comparison
ANCA CPX vs ANCA TX7
ANCA vs ANCA · CNC Grinding Machines
Summary
The ANCA CPX and the ANCA TX7 are both ANCA grinders for round tools, at different steps of the work. The ANCA CPX prepares blanks by pinch/peel grinding ahead of fluting; the ANCA TX7 grinds round tools across a wide range of shank sizes. ANCA publishes few comparable figures for this pair, and the table has one row: spindle power.
The ANCA CPX lists a roughing spindle with 43 kW (58 HP) peak power and a finishing spindle with 9.7 kW (13 HP) peak. The ANCA TX7 lists 37 kW (49 HP) peak and 15 kW (20.1 HP) S1. On peak power the roughing spindle of the ANCA CPX is the higher of the two.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | ANCA CPX | ANCA TX7 |
|---|---|---|
| Spindle Power | Roughing spindle peak power 43Kw (58 HP); Finishing Spindle Peak Power 9.7Kw (13HP) ▲ | 37 kW (49 HP) peak / 15 kW (20.1 HP) S1 |
Advantages
ANCA CPX
- 43 kW (58 HP) peak on the roughing spindle against 37 kW (49 HP) peak
- Two spindles: roughing plus a 9.7 kW (13 HP) peak finishing spindle
- Suits blank preparation and heavy stock removal ahead of fluting
ANCA TX7
- Publishes an S1 rating of 15 kW (20.1 HP); the ANCA CPX row gives peak figures only
- Suits mixed shank sizes across its collet chuck range
- Suits unattended runs of large or small tools with the RoboMate option
Verdict
Choose by the step in tool production. A shop that prepares blanks from round stock, with heavy stock removal, should buy the ANCA CPX for its 43 kW (58 HP) roughing spindle and separate finishing spindle. A shop that grinds round tools across mixed shank sizes should buy the ANCA TX7, with 37 kW (49 HP) peak and 15 kW (20.1 HP) S1. They are consecutive steps, not alternatives.
