How much does the Huron MX 12 MT cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Huron MX 12 MT 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
With a 1,400 mm table that turns at 250 rpm, the Huron MX 12 MT brings mill-turn capability to parts well over a metre in diameter. It shares the 1,200 x 1,600 x 1,000 mm (47.2 x 63.0 x 39.4 in) travels of the MX 12 M and carries 3,000 kg (6,614 lb).
Table speed halves compared with the MX 10 MT, which runs at 500 rpm. That follows from diameter: surface speed at the rim of a 1,400 mm part is already high at 250 rpm. What matters for the buyer is whether small-diameter features near the centre can still be turned at a sensible cutting speed.
The spindle is the HSK 100-A unit with 43 kW and 415 Nm at up to 10,000 rpm, and tools may weigh 25 kg, measure 250 mm across and reach 650 mm in length. That tool envelope fits the parts: large face mills for casting skins, long bars for deep bores, and rigid holders for turning.
Head kinematics are the MX standard. A tilts from -45° to +180° at 100 rpm on a 45° plane, with an integrated torque motor and vibration monitoring. Stated accuracy is 0.007 mm on X, Y and Z and 10 sec on A and C. The magazine has 60 housings. Overall size is the same as the M version, up to 7,210 x 10,755 mm with the APC option.
