Advantages
Hurco TM8MYi
- 4,000 rpm spindle against 3,500 rpm
- 30 m/min (1181 ipm) rapids against 24 m/min (945 ipm)
- Lighter machine at 4,490 kg (9,899 lb) against 7,250 kg (15,984 lb)
Hurco TMX10MYi
- 627 mm (24.68 in) turning length against 375 mm (14.76 in)
- 78 mm (3.07 in) bar capacity against 64.5 mm (2.54 in)
- 28 kW (37.6 hp) spindle power against 22.6 kW (30.3 hp)
- 854 mm (33.6 in) between centers and 304.8 mm (12 in) X travel against 597 mm and 232 mm
Verdict
Diameter capacity is about the same, so length and bar size decide. The Hurco TMX10MYi suits longer fittings, flanges, valve bodies and bar-fed parts up to 78 mm, with 627 mm of turning length and 28 kW. The Hurco TM8MYi is the better fit for shorter medical, prototype and small-batch parts within 375 mm and 64.5 mm bar, where its 4,000 rpm spindle and quicker rapids help.
