How much does the Huron DX 500-1250 C cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Huron DX 500-1250 C 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 500-1250 C pairs the largest spindle of the DX Large series with the 800 mm (31.5 in) frame. An A2-15 nose, a 180 mm bore and 37/30 kW on the Fanuc motor, or 45/30 kW on Siemens, drive parts up to 1,250 mm long.
Where the 1,000 mm C machine is mostly a pipe lathe, this one adds diameter. An 800 mm turning capacity with 410 mm of X travel takes large flanged spools, valve bonnets and wellhead parts as well as hollow work through the bore. The standard turning diameter is 600 mm.
The speed range is 50-1,200 rpm. At these diameters that is ample, and the drive is clearly specified for metal removal. Tools are 32 x 32 mm with 50 mm boring bars, held in an 8-station turret that Huron describes as heavy-duty and high-precision.
Bar capacity is listed as 90 mm, as on the B spindle, which sits oddly beside a 180 mm bore and should be queried. Weight is 10,000 kg (22,046 lb). Accuracy is 0.01/0.015 mm positioning and 0.005/0.007 mm repeatability on X and Z. The tailstock delivers up to 1,000 kgf. Dimensions are 5,875 mm by 2,860 mm, with a height of 2,250 mm. A live-tool turret is offered as an option for milling.
