Overview

The Hurco DCX32i is a double-column machining center for long, heavy parts: 3,200 mm (125.98 in) of X, 2,100 mm (82.68 in) of Y and 920 mm (36.22 in) of Z over a 3,000 × 1,700 mm (118.11 × 66.93 in) table rated for 11,000 kg (24,200 lb). The spindle is CAT 50, rated 48 kW (64 hp) and 458 Nm (338 ft-lb), with a top speed of 6,000 rpm.

Within the DCX range it is the narrower of the two 3,200 mm machines. The DCX3226i shares its X, Z and spindle but has 2,600 mm (102.36 in) of Y on a 3,000 × 2,100 mm (118.11 × 82.68 in) table rated for 14,000 kg (30,864.7 lb). If the work is long beds, rails, press plates or frames that rarely exceed 1,700 mm (66.93 in) in width, the DCX32i covers it with a lighter machine, 34,940 kg (76,870 lb) against 36,940 kg (81,439 lb) for the DCX3226i.

The step up from the DCX22i 50T is substantial on every axis: that machine stops at 2,200 × 1,700 × 750 mm (86.61 × 66.93 × 29.53 in). The power rating also rises, from 26 kW (35 hp) on the DCX22i 50T to 48 kW (64 hp) here. Torque does not follow, though. The DCX22i 50T lists 544 Nm (401 ft-lb) against 458 Nm (338 ft-lb) on the DCX32i, so the larger machine's advantage is power at speed rather than more twist at the bottom of the range.

The 40-tool changer takes CAT 50 tools up to 300 mm (11.8 in) long and 15 kg (33 lb), changing in 5 sec tool to tool. The spindle nose comes within 164 mm (6.46 in) of the table. At 34,940 kg (76,870 lb) the machine needs a proper foundation and planned rigging. Hurco's WinMax control programs it in conversational form or NC.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the DCX32i and the DCX3226i?

Width and capacity. The DCX32i has 2,100 mm (82.68 in) of Y, a 3,000 × 1,700 mm (118.11 × 66.93 in) table and an 11,000 kg (24,200 lb) rating. The DCX3226i has 2,600 mm (102.36 in) of Y, a 3,000 × 2,100 mm (118.11 × 82.68 in) table and a 14,000 kg (30,864.7 lb) rating. X, Z and the spindle are the same.

02 Does the DCX32i have more torque than the DCX22i 50T?

No. The DCX32i lists 458 Nm (338 ft-lb) from 48 kW (64 hp); the DCX22i 50T lists 544 Nm (401 ft-lb) from 26 kW (35 hp). The DCX32i has more power and a much larger envelope, while the DCX22i 50T has more low-speed torque.

03 What tools does the DCX32i take?

CAT 50 tools in a 40-tool changer, each up to 300 mm (11.8 in) long and 15 kg (33 lb). Tool-to-tool time is 5 sec, and the spindle runs to 6,000 rpm.

04 What should I plan for installation?

The machine weighs 34,940 kg (76,870 lb) and carries parts up to 11,000 kg (24,200 lb). Plan the foundation, crane capacity for loading parts on a 3,000 mm (118.11 in) table and the delivery route well before the machine ships.
