Advantages
Hurco TMX10MYSi
- Sub-spindle (Z2, C1, C2) for both-end machining in one cycle
- 78 mm (3.07 in) bar capacity against 64.5 mm (2.54 in)
- 627 mm (24.68 in) turning length against 527 mm (20.75 in)
- 28 kW (37.6 hp) and 267.4 Nm (197 ft-lb) against 25 kW and 238.7 Nm
Hurco TMX8MYi
- 4,500 rpm spindle against 3,500 rpm
- Lighter machine at 7,500 kg (16,535 lb) against 7,700 kg (16,976 lb)
Verdict
The Hurco TMX10MYSi is for production cells that bar-feed parts up to 78 mm and need them finished on both ends without operator handling, such as implants, connectors, valves and aerospace parts. The Hurco TMX8MYi suits job shops, prototype rooms and firearms work on smaller parts under 274.6 mm in diameter machined from one side, where its 4,500 rpm spindle suits smaller diameters.
