Huron MX 8 MT

Q: How much does the Huron MX 8 MT cost?

The price estimate for the Huron MX 8 MT 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-8-mt#price; the request is passed to Huron or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Huron MX 8 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

Milling and turning in one clamping is the purpose of the Huron MX 8 MT. Its table is 800 mm in diameter and spins at up to 500 rpm, fast enough to turn diameters and faces on a part that is then milled, drilled and tapped without being moved.

MT stands for mill-turn. Against the milling-only MX 8 M, Huron changes the spindle as well as the table. The MT has an HSK 100-A spindle rated 43 kW and 415 Nm at up to 10,000 rpm, where the MX 8 M has HSK 63-A. The bigger taper holds turning tools rigidly and allows heavier cutters: tools may be 250 mm in diameter, 500 mm long and 25 kg.

Travels are 1,160 x 1,000 x 900 mm (45.7 x 39.4 x 35.4 in) and rapids 40 m/min. The universal head tilts from -45° to +180° on its 45° plane, so a turning tool can be presented from above or from the side, and milling can follow at any angle.

The table carries 2,000 kg (4,409 lb). When turning, remember that the admissible load and the top table speed are separate limits, and Huron's table does not say what speed applies at full load. Positioning is 0.007 mm on the linear axes and 10 sec on A and C. Sixty tools are stored.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Can the Huron MX 8 MT really turn?

Yes. Its table is listed as a mill/turn table of 800 mm diameter with a rotating speed of 500 rpm. Huron describes the MX as enabling five-axis, five-side machining in one clamping as well as turning operations.

02 What spindle does the MX 8 MT use?

An HSK 100-A spindle with a maximum speed of 10,000 rpm, 43 kW and 415 Nm. The characteristic speed is 1,000 rpm.

03 What tools can the MX 8 MT changer carry?

Sixty housings. Maximum tool diameter is 250 mm, maximum length 500 mm and maximum weight 25 kg (55 lb). The MX 8 M, with its smaller taper, is limited to 120 mm, 400 mm and 8 kg.

04 What accuracy is stated for the MX 8 MT?

0.007 mm positioning and 0.004 mm repeatability on X, Y and Z, and 10 sec and 5 sec on A and C. The figures are the same for the M and MT versions.
