How much does the Huron DX 500-1000 A cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Huron DX 500-1000 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 500-1000 A is the entry point to the DX Large series of heavy turning centres. It turns 700 mm (27.6 in) in diameter and 1,000 mm in length on a 9,500 kg (20,944 lb) machine, and of the three spindle versions it is the one that runs fastest, at 50-2,500 rpm.
Huron designs the DX Large machines for heavy components and interrupted cutting. The feature list names a single-piece slant saddle, a step-up construction for vibration-free heavy cutting, wider linear-motion guideways and a heavy-duty bi-directional servo turret. Swing over the bed is 800 mm and the standard turning diameter 550 mm.
The A spindle has an A2-8 nose, an 80 mm bore and 65 mm of bar capacity. Motor power is 22/18.5 kW with Fanuc and 27.8/18.5 kW with Siemens. That is enough for serious roughing, but the reason to choose the A over the B or C is speed: 2,500 rpm keeps cutting speed up on the smaller diameters of a stepped part and in finishing.
Tooling is 32 x 32 mm with boring bars up to 50 mm at 8 stations, and a live-tool turret is an option. The tailstock has a 130 mm quill, 150 mm of stroke and up to 1,000 kgf. X travel is 360 mm. Positioning is stated as 0.01 mm, repeatability as 0.005 mm. The machine covers 5,500 x 2,860 mm.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 700 mm turning diameter and 1,000 mm turning length
- 50-2,500 rpm, the fastest of the three DX 500-1000 spindles
- 22/18.5 kW (Fanuc) or 27.8/18.5 kW (Siemens)
- 1,000 kgf tailstock on a 130 mm quill
- Step-up construction for vibration-free heavy cutting, per Huron
Limitations
- Bar capacity is 65 mm through an 80 mm bore
- 8 turret stations; the DX 750-1250 A has 12
- Needs 5,500 x 2,860 mm of floor
- Lowest motor power of the three DX 500-1000 versions
