Advantages
Hurco DCX3226i
- 2,600 mm (102.36 in) of Y travel against 2,100 mm (82.68 in)
- Wider table: 3,000 mm (118.11 in) × 2,100 mm (82.68 in) against 3,000 mm (118.11 in) × 1,700 mm (66.93 in)
- 14,000 kg (30,864.7 lb) table load against 11,000 kg (24,200 lb)
Hurco DCX32i
- Lighter machine: 34,940 kg (76,870 lb) against 36,940 kg (81,439 lb)
- Covers long parts along the full 3,200 mm (125.98 in) of X where the extra Y width is not needed
Verdict
Choose by part width. The Hurco DCX3226i suits wide mold bases, plates and several large parts fixtured side by side, using its 2,600 mm (102.36 in) of Y and 14,000 kg (30,864.7 lb) rating. The Hurco DCX32i suits long beds, rails, press plates and die sets that fit within 2,100 mm (82.68 in) of Y and 11,000 kg (24,200 lb), on a lighter machine. Spindle, tooling and X travel are the same on both.
