Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Hurco. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Hurco DCX32 5Si is a double-column five-axis machining center with 3,200 mm (125.98 in) of X, 2,100 mm (82.68 in) of Y and 900 mm (35.4 in) of Z over a 3,000 mm (118.1 in) × 1,700 mm (66.93 in) table rated for 11,000 kg (24,250 lb). The spindle is an HSK-63A unit that runs to 18,000 rpm with 63 kW (84.5 hp) and 106 Nm (78.2 ft-lb).

The B axis swings from +100° to -110° at 120 rpm and the C axis turns 360° at 80 rpm. With a table of that size and load, those axes let the spindle reach the sides of large moulds, dies and structural parts that could not be rolled over on a trunnion. The B axis is the faster of the two, at 120 rpm against 80 rpm for C.

The interesting comparison is with the three-axis DCX32i, which shares the 3,200 mm (125.98 in) × 2,100 mm (82.68 in) envelope and the 11,000 kg (24,200 lb) table rating. The DCX32i uses a CAT 50 spindle to 6,000 rpm with 48 kW (64 hp) and 458 Nm (338 ft-lb). The DCX32 5Si goes the other way: three times the speed and more power, but less than a quarter of the torque. It is a finishing and high-speed machine for large parts, not a heavy roughing machine, and a shop that does both may want the roughing done elsewhere first.

The 40-tool changer has a tool-to-tool time of 5 sec, and tools are limited to 300 mm (11.8 in) in length and 7 kg (15.4 lb) in weight, which keeps heavy face mills and long boring bars off this spindle. Spindle nose to table is listed as 66 mm (2.6 in). The machine weighs 37,640 kg (82,982 lb), so the foundation needs engineering before it arrives. Hurco's WinMax control runs both conversational and G-code programs.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

3,200 mm (125.98 in) × 2,100 mm (82.68 in) × 900 mm (35.4 in) travels over a 3,000 mm (118.1 in) × 1,700 mm (66.93 in) table
Table rated for 11,000 kg (24,250 lb)
B axis of +100° / -110° at 120 rpm and a 360° C axis at 80 rpm
18,000 rpm HSK-63A spindle with 63 kW (84.5 hp)
900 mm (35.4 in) of Z travel, enough for tall die blocks and fixtures

Limitations

106 Nm (78.2 ft-lb) of torque, against 458 Nm (338 ft-lb) on the CAT 50 DCX32i, limits heavy roughing
Tools are limited to 7 kg (15.4 lb) and 300 mm (11.8 in), which excludes heavy face mills and long bars
5 sec tool-to-tool time adds up on jobs with many tool changes
At 37,640 kg (82,982 lb) the machine needs a prepared foundation and heavy rigging

Best For

Large moulds and dies up to 3,000 mm (118.1 in) × 1,700 mm (66.93 in) Five-axis finishing of heavy workpieces up to 11,000 kg (24,250 lb) Aerospace structures and large aluminium parts at up to 18,000 rpm Undercuts and side features reached with +100° / -110° of B

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the DCX32 5Si differ from the DCX32i?

Both have 3,200 mm (125.98 in) of X and 2,100 mm (82.68 in) of Y over a 3,000 mm (118.1 in) × 1,700 mm (66.93 in) class table. The DCX32i is three-axis with a CAT 50 spindle to 6,000 rpm, 48 kW (64 hp) and 458 Nm (338 ft-lb). The DCX32 5Si adds B and C axes and an HSK-63A spindle to 18,000 rpm with 63 kW (84.5 hp) and 106 Nm (78.2 ft-lb).

02 What do the DCX32 5Si rotary axes cover?

The B axis swings from +100° to -110° at 120 rpm, and the C axis rotates through 360° at 80 rpm. Together they let the tool approach a large part from most directions without refixturing it.

03 How heavy a part can the DCX32 5Si take?

The table is rated for 11,000 kg (24,250 lb) and measures 3,000 mm (118.1 in) × 1,700 mm (66.93 in). Z travel is 900 mm (35.4 in), so check that the part height plus the tool length fits within that stroke at the B angles you plan to use.

04 What tools can the DCX32 5Si use?

HSK-63A holders, 40 of them in the changer, at a tool-to-tool time of 5 sec. Tools may be up to 300 mm (11.8 in) long and 7 kg (15.4 lb) in weight. No maximum tool diameter is listed, so confirm it for any large cutter.

05 What should be prepared before a DCX32 5Si is installed?

The machine weighs 37,640 kg (82,982 lb), so the foundation, the floor loading and the rigging plan all need engineering ahead of delivery. Allow for the 3,200 mm (125.98 in) X stroke and the table length when planning floor space and access.
