Huron MX 12 M

Q: How much does the Huron MX 12 M cost?

The price estimate for the Huron MX 12 M is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/huron-mx-12-m#price; the request is passed to Huron or an authorised dealer.

Overview

The Huron MX 12 M doubles the table load of the smaller MX milling centres to 4,000 kg (8,818 lb). Its travels are 1,200 x 1,600 x 1,000 mm (47.2 x 63.0 x 39.4 in), with the long axis being Y, and the table is listed as Ø 1,600 x 1,250 mm.

A Y stroke longer than X is the mark of this model. The table moves further towards and away from the column, so a large-diameter part can be brought under the head across its full width. For five-side work on gearbox housings, large moulds or structural fittings, that reach decides whether one clamping is enough.

Huron fits the HSK 63-A milling spindle: 14,000 rpm, 29 kW and 277 Nm with a characteristic speed of 1,000 rpm. The universal head has an integrated torque motor and tilts from -45° to +180°. The table rotates at 50 rpm as the C axis.

There is a mismatch to keep in mind. The table carries 4,000 kg, but tools are limited to 8 kg and 120 mm in diameter on this taper. Heavy roughing with big cutters is better served by the MX 12 MT and its HSK 100-A spindle. Without APC the MX 12 M is 6,988 mm wide and 8,880 mm deep. With the optional APC it is 7,210 mm by 10,755 mm. Height is 4,125 mm either way.
