How much does the Huron KXG 45-14 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Huron KXG 45-14 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
Narrow and long, the Huron KXG 45-14 is the gantry for parts like wing ribs, spars and rail-vehicle profiles. It travels 4,500 mm (177.2 in) in X but only 1,400 mm in Y, over a fixed table of 4,700 x 1,390 mm that holds 18,000 kg (39,683 lb).
A slim gantry has less crossrail to move, and this is the lightest KXG at 60,000 kg (132,276 lb). The linear rapids are the series standard, 60 m/min on X and Y and 45 m/min on Z. Z travel is 800 mm.
The five-axis head is a forked design with B swivelling +/- 105° and C rotating +/- 200° at 100 rpm. The spindle it carries is built for speed: 75 kW, 75 Nm, 20,000 rpm, with a characteristic speed of 9,550 rpm on an HSK 63-A taper. Long aluminium parts cut from plate at high feed are the natural work, and Huron describes the series as designed for continuous five-axis machining of very large parts.
Stated positioning is 0.025 mm on X and 0.010 mm on Y and Z. The magazine holds 40 tools outside the work area. Huron also lists a tilting, inclined operator panel and a retractable roof. The machine occupies 9,082 x 9,700 mm and is 4,978 mm high.
