Huron MX 4

Q: How much does the Huron MX 4 cost?

The price estimate for the Huron MX 4 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-4#price; the request is passed to Huron or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Huron MX 4 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 MX 4 is a small five-axis machining centre driven by linear motors on Y and Z, with rapids of 120 m/min on those axes and 60 m/min on X. Travels are 750 x 700 x 500 mm (29.5 x 27.6 x 19.7 in), and the 24,000 rpm HSK 63-A spindle works over a 400 x 400 mm table that tilts and rotates.

It stands apart from the other MX models, which are large universal-head machines. Here both rotary axes are in the table, on a 45° plane. A tilts from -45° to +180° and C turns 360°, each at 100 rpm, and Huron quotes 3,200 Nm of motor torque and 7,000 Nm of clamping torque for them. The largest workpiece is 440 x 420 mm in plan and 350 mm high.

Huron explains its drive choices. Linear motors on Y and Z raise traverse speed, acceleration and tool-change speed, and the moving structures are kept light and rigid to exploit them. X keeps a ballscrew, which Huron says removes the risk of pollution on that axis. The machine is anchored to the floor.

The spindle is rated 25 kW and 40 Nm with a characteristic speed of 6,000 rpm. Positioning is 0.004 mm on the linear axes and 7.2 sec on A and C. Thirty-six tools up to 250 mm long and 5 kg are carried. The footprint is 4,240 x 4,800 mm.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How fast is the Huron MX 4?

Rapid feedrate is 60 m/min on X and 120 m/min on Y and Z. The Y and Z axes use linear motors; X uses a ballscrew. The rotary axes A and C both turn at 100 rpm, and the spindle reaches 24,000 rpm.

02 What size workpiece fits the MX 4?

Huron gives the workpiece dimension as 440 x 420 mm with a height of 350 mm. The table itself is 400 x 400 mm and rotates on a 45° plane. Linear travels are 750, 700 and 500 mm in X, Y and Z.

03 Why does the MX 4 use a ballscrew on X?

Huron's feature list says the ballscrew on the X axis is there to eliminate the risks of pollution, while linear motors on Y and Z increase speed of movement, acceleration and tool-change speed. The machine is also anchored to the floor for rigidity and dynamics.

04 What are the spindle figures for the MX 4?

HSK 63-A taper, 24,000 rpm maximum, 25 kW and 40 Nm, with a characteristic speed of 6,000 rpm. This is a high-speed finishing spindle. The larger MX 8 M, by contrast, has 277 Nm at 14,000 rpm.
