Hurco vs Shibaura Machine · CNC Boring Machines
Summary
The Hurco HBMx120i and Toshiba BTD-200QH are both horizontal boring machines with 30 kW (40.2 hp) spindles and 50-taper tooling, but they sit in different size classes and serve different jobs. The HBMx120i has 3,000 mm (118.11 in) of X travel against 1,500 mm (59.1 in) on the BTD-200QH.
The Hurco is larger in every axis: 1,780 mm (70.08 in) of Y travel against 1,200 mm (47.2 in), 1,650 mm of Z travel against 700 mm (27.6 in), and a 1,440 mm (56.69 in) × 1,600 mm (62.99 in) table against 1,000 x 1,200 mm. The Toshiba spins faster, at 3,000 RPM standard and 5,000 RPM with the high-speed option against 2,500 rpm, and is the lighter machine at 18,000 kg (39,600 lb). The Hurco runs WinMax; the Toshiba runs TOSNUC 999 CNC.
