DN Solutions DBC-130 vs Hurco HBMx120i
DN Solutions vs Hurco · CNC Boring Machines
Summary
The DN Solutions DBC-130 and the Hurco HBMx120i are CNC boring machines with the same 3,000 mm (118.1 in) of X travel and CAT 50 tooling (BIG PLUS on the DN Solutions). The headline difference is capacity: the DBC-130 carries much heavier work and puts more torque at the spindle.
The DN Solutions DBC-130 is rated for 15,000 kg (33,000 lb) on the table against 6,300 kg (13,889 lb), and delivers 45 kW (60 hp) and 3,971 N·m (2,928 ft-lb) against 30 kW (40.2 hp) and 1,500 Nm (1,106.3 ft-lb). It also has 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of Y travel against 1,780 mm (70.08 in), a 3,000 rpm geared head against 2,500 rpm, and 90 tools as standard (120 as an extra-cost option) against 60 tools. The Hurco HBMx120i has more Z travel, 1,650 mm against 1,600 mm.
