Overview

The Hurco TMX10i is the performance-class 10-inch turning center in Hurco's lineup, built for shops that need more spindle power and rigidity than the standard TM10i. With a 30 kW (40 hp) spindle, 76 mm bar capacity, and 640 mm maximum turning length, it handles medium-to-large parts in steel, stainless, and alloy steels without breaking a sweat.

The main spindle runs to 3,500 RPM through an A2-8 spindle nose, delivering strong low-end torque for heavy roughing and enough speed for reasonable surface footage on larger diameters. Maximum turning diameter is 410 mm (16.1 in) with a swing over bed of 660 mm (26 in). The 76 mm (3.0 in) through-spindle bore supports bar feeding of common stock sizes up to 3 inches in diameter.

Travels are 265 mm (10.4 in) in X and 640 mm (25.2 in) in Z, giving the TMX10i more Z-travel than the standard TM10i. Rapid traverse runs at 20 m/min on both axes. The 12-station Duplomatic servo turret indexes quickly and accommodates standard OD turning, boring, drilling, and threading tools.

The TMX10i weighs approximately 5,200 kg (11,464 lb), providing excellent mass for vibration damping during heavy cuts and interrupted turning. Meehanite cast iron construction, precision linear ball rails, and a spindle chiller are all standard. The 30-degree slant bed design provides good chip evacuation and ergonomic operator access.

As with all Hurco lathes, the WinMax conversational control is the defining feature. The TMX10i shares its platform with the TMX10MYi and TMX10MYSi mill-turn machines, making it the base for shops that may want to add Y-axis and sub-spindle capability in the future on a separate machine. The TMX10i competes with the Haas ST-25, Doosan Puma 2600, and Okuma LB3000 EX III in the performance 10-inch turning center segment.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

40 hp spindle delivers production-grade torque for heavy roughing in stainless, alloy steels, and cast iron
640 mm turning length provides more Z-travel than the standard TM10i for longer shaft work
5,200 kg machine weight ensures excellent vibration damping and stability during heavy and interrupted cuts
76 mm bar capacity supports bar-fed production for stock sizes up to 3 inches in diameter
WinMax conversational control provides fast at-the-machine programming that saves setup time on every job
Spindle chiller maintains thermal stability for tight-tolerance production over extended run times

Limitations

3,500 RPM max spindle speed limits surface footage on smaller-diameter parts where higher RPM would improve finishes
No live tooling on the TMX10i — milling and cross-drilling require the TMX10MYi or a secondary operation
Higher price point than the standard TM10i requires consistent heavy-duty workloads to justify the investment
Larger footprint and heavier weight may require floor reinforcement in some shop environments
Hurco's dealer and service network is smaller than Haas, Mazak, and Okuma in most regions

Best For

Job shops running heavy cuts in stainless, alloy steels, and cast iron on medium-to-large turned parts Production cells turning parts that require 30-40 hp spindle power and 10-inch chuck capacity Oil and gas subcontractors producing flanges, fittings, and valve components in tough materials Shops planning to eventually add TMX10MYi mill-turn capability and wanting operator training on the TMX platform Foundries and forge shops finishing castings and forgings that demand machine rigidity and vibration damping Bar-fed production of parts up to 76 mm diameter in steel and stainless steel

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a Hurco TMX10i cost?

A new Hurco TMX10i typically sells between $115,000 and $160,000 depending on options including tailstock, chip conveyor, steady rest, and tooling packages. Used TMX10i machines trade between $60,000 and $100,000 depending on year and condition.

02 What is the difference between the TMX10i and TM10i?

The TMX10i delivers 40 hp vs 30 hp on the TM10i, with heavier construction (5,200 kg vs 4,500 kg), more Z-axis travel (640 mm vs 533 mm), and a spindle chiller for thermal stability. The TMX10i is built for heavier production work; the TM10i is for general-purpose turning at a lower price point.

03 How does the TMX10i compare to the Haas ST-25?

Both are 10-inch chuck performance lathes. The Haas ST-25 costs less and has better dealer coverage. The Hurco TMX10i offers WinMax conversational programming and a spindle chiller for thermal stability. For shops prioritizing ease of programming and tight tolerances over long runs, the TMX10i justifies its premium.

04 Can I run castings on the TMX10i?

Yes. The 5,200 kg machine weight and 40 hp spindle handle the interrupted cuts and varying depths of cut common when turning castings and forgings. The linear ball rail construction provides the rigidity needed for consistent accuracy on rough casting surfaces.

05 What is the relationship between the TMX10i and TMX10MYi?

The TMX10MYi is the mill-turn version of the TMX10i platform, adding Y-axis, C-axis, and live tooling for milling operations. The TMX10i is the base 2-axis turning center. They share the same fundamental construction, so operator skills transfer between the two machines.
