How much does the Huron KXG 30-15 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Huron KXG 30-15 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 KXG 30-15 is a five-axis gantry milling centre with 3,000 x 1,500 x 1,250 mm (118.1 x 59.1 x 49.2 in) of travel. In a gantry the crossrail moves over a table fixed to the foundation, so the table can carry 13,000 kg (28,660 lb) without that mass ever being accelerated.
Among the five KXG models this one has the shortest X but the tallest Z. Its 1,250 mm vertical stroke compares with 800 mm on the KXG 45-14 and the larger machines, which makes the 30-15 the choice for deep moulds, tall models and bulky parts rather than long flat ones.
Speed is the series theme. X and Y rapid at 60 m/min and Z at 45 m/min, and Huron lists machining with very high feed speeds as a design aim. The forked head swivels B +/- 105° and rotates C +/- 200° at 100 rpm with 4,000 Nm. In it sits an HSK 63-A spindle with 75 kW, 75 Nm and 20,000 rpm, a high-speed spindle for light alloys, resins and finishing passes.
Huron builds the gantry with a reinforced U-type moving crossrail and requires a dedicated foundation. A retractable roof opens the work area for crane loading, and the 40-tool magazine sits outside it. The machine weighs 80,000 kg (176,368 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,250 mm of Z travel, the tallest in the KXG range
- 60 m/min rapids on X and Y with a fixed table
- 13,000 kg (28,660 lb) table load that does not affect axis dynamics
- 75 kW, 20,000 rpm spindle in a five-axis forked head
- Retractable roof for crane access to the work area
Limitations
- Spindle torque is 75 Nm, too little for heavy steel roughing
- X positioning is stated as 0.025 mm
- Requires a dedicated foundation
- 80,000 kg machine weight and an 8,110 x 10,500 mm installation
