How much does the Huron NX 50 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Huron NX 50 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
Long parts are the reason to pick the Huron NX 50. It keeps the 1,500 mm Y and 800 mm Z of the NX 40 and stretches X to 3,200 mm (126.0 in), over a table of 3,000 x 1,250 mm that carries 8,000 kg (17,637 lb).
Like the rest of the NX series this is a three-axis portal milling centre with a roughing bias. The ISO 50 spindle is rated 32.3 kW and 170 Nm at up to 6,000 rpm, with a nominal speed of 1,750 rpm. Huron uses a friction guiding system on the vertical axis for chip removal capacity and anchors the machine to the floor for geometric stability.
The rapid figures are worth reading closely. Y moves at 20 m/min, while X and Z move at 15 m/min. On a 3,200 mm axis that makes end-to-end positioning a matter of many seconds, so work should be planned to limit long air moves between features.
The NX 50 weighs 25,000 kg (55,115 lb). Depth with doors open and conveyor is 10,600 mm, width 5,390 mm and height 4,630 mm. The table is narrower than the 1,500 mm Y stroke, which lets the spindle reach past both table edges for side features. Forty tools, each up to 15 kg and 350 mm long, sit in the changer.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 3,200 mm (126.0 in) of X travel for beams, rails and long plates
- 8,000 kg (17,637 lb) table load
- 32.3 kW, 170 Nm ISO 50 spindle with a 1,750 rpm nominal speed
- Y travel of 1,500 mm exceeds the 1,250 mm table width
- 40-pocket changer with tools up to 15 kg
Limitations
- X and Z rapids are 15 m/min
- Needs 10,600 mm of depth once doors and conveyor are counted
- 6,000 rpm top speed limits fine finishing
- Stated positioning of 0.020 mm across all axes

Frequently Asked Questions
01
X travel is 3,200 mm, Y travel 1,500 mm and Z travel 800 mm. The table measures 3,000 x 1,250 mm (118.1 x 49.2 in) and is rated for 8,000 kg (17,637 lb).
02
Huron lists rapid feedrates of 15 m/min for X and Z and 20 m/min for Y. These are modest speeds, consistent with a machine that uses a friction guiding system on its vertical axis and is intended for roughing.
03
They share the 3,200 mm X travel. The NX 60 widens Y to 2,200 mm, has a 3,000 x 2,000 mm table and carries 10,000 kg. The NX 60 is also much heavier at 34,000 kg. If parts are long but narrower than 1,250 mm, the NX 50 covers them.
04
ISO 50 taper, 6,000 rpm maximum, 32.3 kW and 170 Nm, with a nominal speed of 1,750 rpm. Huron's table for the NX 50 gives single power and torque figures without a duty-cycle label.
