Machine Comparison
DMG Mori ALX 2000 vs Hurco TM10i
DMG Mori vs Hurco · CNC Lathes
Summary
The DMG Mori ALX 2000 and the Hurco TM10i are both CNC lathes for bar and chuck work, with the same 30 m/min rapid traverse and nearly the same X travel. The Hurco TM10i is the longer machine in Z and is listed with the larger bar capacity.
X travel is 260 mm (10.2 in) on the DMG Mori ALX 2000 against 250 mm (9.84 in). In Z the Hurco TM10i has 790 mm (31.1 in) against 575 mm (22.6 in). The DMG Mori ALX 2000 takes 65 mm (2.6 in) bar; the Hurco TM10i takes larger stock. By typical use the DMG Mori ALX 2000 can be ordered with milling or a Y-axis, while the Hurco TM10i is chosen for conversational programming on short runs of medium-sized parts.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | DMG Mori ALX 2000 | Hurco TM10i |
|---|---|---|
| X-Axis Travel | 260 mm (10.2 in) ▲ | 250 mm (9.84 in) |
| Z-Axis Travel | 575 mm (22.6 in) | 790 mm (31.1 in) ▲ |
| Bar Capacity | 65 mm (2.6 in) | 81 mm (3.19 in) ▲ |
| Rapid Traverse | 30 m/min (1,181.1 ipm), X- and Z-axis | 30 m/min / 1181 ipm |
Advantages
DMG Mori ALX 2000
- 260 mm (10.2 in) of X travel against 250 mm (9.84 in)
- Milling or a Y-axis can be ordered as a specification for mixed turning and milling
Hurco TM10i
- 790 mm (31.1 in) of Z travel against 575 mm (22.6 in)
- Larger bar capacity than the 65 mm (2.6 in) of the DMG Mori ALX 2000
- Suited to shops that value conversational programming for short-run work
Verdict
Choose the Hurco TM10i for longer parts and larger bar: its 790 mm (31.1 in) of Z travel is well beyond the 575 mm (22.6 in) of the DMG Mori ALX 2000, and it suits shops that program short runs conversationally. Choose the DMG Mori ALX 2000 for parts within 65 mm (2.6 in) bar and 575 mm of Z travel, especially where milling or a Y-axis is wanted. Rapid traverse is the same at 30 m/min.
