How much does the Huron DX 200-12 A cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Huron DX 200-12 A that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Huron DX 200-12 A is the long-bed shaft lathe of the DX 200 series, with 1,200 mm (47.2 in) of turning length and Z travel. Turning diameter is 365 mm, the spindle is the A2-6 unit, and the machine is 3,625 mm long.
A length-to-diameter ratio like this is meant for slender work: drive shafts, lead screws, rollers and long pins. Such parts flex under cutting load, so tailstock support is essential and steady rests are often added. Huron's table lists the tailstock, with an 85 mm quill, 120 mm of stroke and 500 kgf of adjustable thrust, but no steady rest. Ask about one if the parts are thin.
The spindle runs 50-4,000 rpm with 13.5/9 kW on the Siemens motor or 11/9 kW on the Fanuc motor. A 70 mm bore passes 52 mm bar. At 4,800 kg (10,582 lb) the DX 200-12 A is heavier than the DX 200-7 A at 4,300 kg, and the difference is in the longer bed.
Cross travel is 200 mm. Rapids are 24 m/min, so a full-length Z move takes a few seconds. Huron states 0.01 mm positioning and 0.005 mm repeatability. The 8-station servo turret, hydraulic chucking and the coolant and lubrication systems are the same as on the shorter machines.
