How much does the Huron DX 500-1000 B cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Huron DX 500-1000 B 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 B is the middle spindle option on the 1,000 mm DX Large bed. It has an A2-11 nose, a 110 mm bore and 90 mm of bar capacity, with 26/22 kW on the Fanuc motor or 33/22 kW on the Siemens motor at 50-1,500 rpm.
Of the three versions this is the general heavy-turning choice. It has more power and a much larger bore than the DX 500-1000 A, and it runs faster than the 1,200 rpm of the DX 500-1000 C. For parts near the 700 mm limit, 1,500 rpm covers the cutting speeds carbide tools need in steel.
The machine turns up to 700 mm (27.6 in) across and 1,000 mm long. Standard turning diameter is 550 mm, the swing 800 mm and the X travel 360 mm. Weight is 9,500 kg (20,944 lb).
Huron equips the series with an 8-station heavy-duty servo turret for 32 x 32 mm tools and 50 mm boring bars. The tailstock quill is 130 mm in diameter and gives up to 1,000 kgf. A 90 mm bar capacity opens up large bar and tube work, which Huron's description links to the oil and gas, defence and infrastructure sectors. Positioning is 0.01 mm and repeatability 0.005 mm, and both axes rapid at 24 m/min.
