How much does the Huron KXG 60-23 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Huron KXG 60-23 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
Six metres of X travel puts the Huron KXG 60-23 among machines for aircraft-scale parts. Its travels are 6,000 x 2,300 x 800 mm (236.2 x 90.6 x 31.5 in), over a fixed table of 6,200 x 2,480 mm rated for 25,000 kg (55,115 lb).
Length shows up in the accuracy statement. X positioning is 0.035 mm, against 0.025 mm on the KXG 45-23, and X repeatability is 0.006 mm. Y and Z stay at 0.010 mm positioning and 0.005 mm repeatability. Anyone holding tight tolerances over the full six metres should discuss compensation and thermal control with Huron, since the table gives no further detail.
Dynamics are not reduced. Rapids are 60 m/min on X and Y and 45 m/min on Z, the same as on the shortest KXG, which matters more here because traverse distances are longer. Huron cites high rigidity enabling very high metal removal rates, and energy efficiency in producing large-sized parts.
The forked head and spindle are common to the range: B +/- 105°, C +/- 200°, 100 rpm, and 75 kW at up to 20,000 rpm on HSK 63-A with 75 Nm. Forty tools are stored outside the work area. The machine weighs 90,000 kg (198,413 lb) and takes 10,100 x 11,684 mm.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
6,000 mm in X, 2,300 mm in Y and 800 mm in Z. The fixed table measures 6,200 x 2,480 mm and its admissible load is 25,000 kg (55,115 lb).
02
On X, yes. Huron states 0.035 mm positioning and 0.006 mm repeatability for the X axis. Y and Z are 0.010 mm and 0.005 mm, and B and C are 10 sec and 5 sec, unchanged from the shorter machines.
03
90,000 kg (198,413 lb). It measures 10,100 mm wide, 11,684 mm deep and 4,973 mm high, and Huron specifies a dedicated foundation for the gantry.
04
The automatic tool changer has 40 housings, located outside the work area. Tools may be up to 90 mm in diameter, 300 mm long and 8 kg (18 lb), on an HSK 63-A taper.
