Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Huron K2X 10 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 K2X 10 is a high-speed three-axis portal machining centre built around an 18,000 rpm HSK 63-A spindle and 60 m/min rapids. Travels are 1,000 x 800 x 500 mm (39.4 x 31.5 x 19.7 in). Huron states positioning of 0.004 mm and repeatability of 0.002 mm on all three linear axes, the tightest figures in its three-axis portal line.
KX is the name Huron gave its first portal-structured machine, and the company still presents the series as its concept for machining complex parts along three axes from roughing to finishing, especially 3D shapes for moulds, forgings and tooling. The K2X 10 is the smallest current member. Its frame is ribbed cast iron, anchored to the floor.
The spindle delivers 30 kW and 110 Nm with a characteristic speed of 3,400 rpm. Full power arriving that early suits hard milling of tool steel with small-diameter cutters at high feed. The tool changer holds 36 tools up to 90 mm in diameter, 300 mm long and 10 kg.
The table is 1,150 x 800 mm and rated for 1,000 kg (2,205 lb). Z travel is 500 mm, which is adequate for cavity plates and inserts but short for tall parts. The machine weighs 12,500 kg (27,557 lb) and needs 5,930 x 3,520 mm with doors open and conveyor.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
X, Y and Z travels are 1,000, 800 and 500 mm. The table is 1,150 x 800 mm (45.3 x 31.5 in) with an admissible load of 1,000 kg (2,205 lb).
02
Huron states positioning of 0.004 mm and repeatability of 0.002 mm on X, Y and Z. For comparison, the K2X 20 is listed at 0.005 mm and 0.003 mm, so the smaller machine is the more accurate of the two on paper.
03
An HSK 63-A spindle that runs to 18,000 rpm, rated 30 kW and 110 Nm. The characteristic speed is 3,400 rpm. The same spindle is listed for the K2X 20 and the KX 30.
04
The K2X 10 is a three-axis machine with a fixed 1,150 x 800 mm table. The K2X 10 Five has a two-axis rotating table of 630 mm diameter for five-axis work, with 900 x 900 x 500 mm travels and 50 m/min rapids. Spindle and tool changer figures are the same.
