Overview
The Hurco DCX3226i is the wide-table version of Hurco's 3,200 mm double-column machine. It offers 3,200 × 2,600 × 920 mm (125.98 × 102.36 × 36.22 in) of travel over a 3,000 × 2,100 mm (118.11 × 82.68 in) table rated for 14,000 kg (30,864.7 lb), with a CAT 50 spindle rated 48 kW (64 hp) and 458 Nm (338 ft-lb) up to 6,000 rpm.
Width is what it adds over the DCX32i. The DCX32i has the same 3,200 mm (125.98 in) of X and 920 mm (36.22 in) of Z but only 2,100 mm (82.68 in) of Y and a 1,700 mm (66.93 in) wide table. On the DCX3226i the extra Y means wide mould bases, plates and welded frames can be machined across their full width without re-clamping, and two or more large parts can be fixtured side by side. The higher table rating, 14,000 kg (30,864.7 lb) against 11,000 kg (24,200 lb) on the DCX32i, follows from the larger table.
For parts that need more length or height, the DCX42i keeps the same 2,600 mm (102.36 in) of Y but adds X to 4,200 mm (165.35 in) and Z to 1,100 mm (43.31 in). The DCX3226i is the one to choose when the parts are wide and heavy but fit within 3,200 mm of X and 920 mm of Z.
The 40-tool changer accepts CAT 50 tools up to 300 mm (11.8 in) long and 15 kg (33 lb), changing in 5 sec. At 6,000 rpm and 458 Nm (338 ft-lb), the spindle is built for steel and iron roughing rather than small-tool finishing. The spindle nose reaches 164 mm (6.46 in) from the table, and the machine weighs 36,940 kg (81,439 lb), so foundations and lifting need engineering in advance. WinMax, Hurco's control, handles both conversational and NC programs.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 2,600 mm (102.36 in) of Y on a 3,000 × 2,100 mm (118.11 × 82.68 in) table, against 2,100 mm (82.68 in) of Y on the DCX32i
- 14,000 kg (30,864.7 lb) table rating
- CAT 50 spindle rated 48 kW (64 hp) and 458 Nm (338 ft-lb)
- 920 mm (36.22 in) of Z with the spindle nose reaching 164 mm (6.46 in) from the table
- 40 CAT 50 tools up to 15 kg (33 lb) each
Limitations
- 6,000 rpm limits small-diameter tools and finishing in aluminium
- 920 mm (36.22 in) of Z, against 1,100 mm (43.31 in) on the DCX42i, limits tall parts
