How much does the Huron KX 30 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Huron KX 30 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 KX 30 is the large machine of the three-axis KX portal line, with 1,800 x 1,000 x 700 mm (70.9 x 39.4 x 27.6 in) of travel and a 2,000 x 1,000 mm table that takes 4,000 kg (8,818 lb). It carries the name Huron gave to its first portal-structured machine.
Compared with the K2X models it is a different kind of tool. Rapids are 30 m/min on X and Y and 18 m/min on Z, half what the K2X 20 manages or less. In exchange the buyer gets 700 mm of Z travel, twice the table load of the K2X 20 and a 17,000 kg (37,479 lb) structure. This is the machine in the line for big die blocks, where the mass of the part governs the feed more than the drives do.
The spindle does not change. It is the HSK 63-A unit at 18,000 rpm, 30 kW and 110 Nm, with a characteristic speed of 3,400 rpm. On a 4,000 kg workpiece that spindle is a finishing and semi-finishing tool. Heavy roughing with large inserted cutters is outside what 110 Nm supports.
Huron gives positioning as 0.009 mm on X and 0.007 mm on Y and Z, with 0.005 mm repeatability throughout. The installation measures 5,770 mm wide by 6,420 mm deep and 3,430 mm high.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Travels are 1,800 x 1,000 x 700 mm. The table is 2,000 x 1,000 mm with a 4,000 kg (8,818 lb) admissible load. The spindle is HSK 63-A at 18,000 rpm with 30 kW and 110 Nm, and the tool changer holds 36 tools.
02
No. Its rapid feedrate is 30 m/min on X and Y and 18 m/min on Z. The K2X 20 is listed at 50 m/min on X and 60 m/min on Y and Z. The KX 30 is built for larger, heavier workpieces.
03
Positioning is 0.009 mm on X and 0.007 mm on Y and Z. Repeatability is 0.005 mm on all three axes. The X figure is the loosest because X is the longest axis at 1,800 mm.
04
With doors opened and conveyor the machine is 5,770 mm wide, 6,420 mm deep and 3,430 mm high, and it weighs 17,000 kg (37,479 lb). Huron specifies floor anchoring, so the foundation needs planning before delivery.
