Machine Comparison
ANCA MX7 vs ANCA TX7
ANCA vs ANCA · CNC Grinding Machines
Summary
The ANCA MX7 and the ANCA TX7 are both production grinders for round cutting tools, and ANCA publishes few comparable figures for this pair: the table has a single row, spindle power. On that row the ANCA MX7 is ahead, at 38 kW (51 HP) peak and 20 kW (27 HP) S1 against 37 kW (49 HP) peak and 15 kW (20.1 HP) S1 for the ANCA TX7.
The peak figures are nearly the same; the gap is in the continuous S1 rating, which matters for heavy fluting. The ANCA TX7 is aimed at larger-diameter round tools and a wide spread of shank sizes, and both machines are offered with the RoboMate option for unattended runs.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | ANCA MX7 | ANCA TX7 |
|---|---|---|
| Spindle Power | 38 kW (51 HP) peak; 20 kW (27 HP) S1 ▲ | 37 kW (49 HP) peak / 15 kW (20.1 HP) S1 |
Advantages
ANCA MX7
- 20 kW (27 HP) S1 spindle rating against 15 kW (20.1 HP)
- 38 kW (51 HP) peak spindle power against 37 kW (49 HP)
- Suited to heavy fluting and long tools
ANCA TX7
- Aimed at larger-diameter round tools than the ANCA MX7
- Collet chuck range that covers a wide mix of shank sizes
- Unattended runs of large tools with the RoboMate option
Verdict
Both machines grind round tools in production, so choose by tool diameter and by how hard the spindle works. The ANCA MX7 fits shops that flute heavily on small and medium diameters, where its 20 kW (27 HP) S1 rating against 15 kW (20.1 HP) counts. The ANCA TX7 fits shops whose mix reaches larger diameters and many shank sizes. With one comparable row published, tool size should decide.
