Nicolas Correa HEXA M

Q: How much does the Nicolas Correa HEXA M cost?

The price estimate for the Nicolas Correa HEXA 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/nicolas-correa-hexa-m#price; the request is passed to Nicolas Correa or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Nicolas Correa HEXA M 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

Width is the headline figure of the Nicolas Correa HEXA M. This gantry mill starts where the VERXA M ends: the narrowest version has 7,750 mm between the columns, and the list continues with 8,750, 9,750 and 10,750 mm. Cross travel is 8,250 / 9,250 / 10,250 / 11,250 mm.

Parts that need such a span are things like wind turbine hubs, large ring segments and ship engine frames, and the rest of the specification is scaled to them. The table surface is 8,000 - 30,000 mm long and 6,000 - 7,000 - 8,000 - 9,000 mm wide, with three load classes of 10,000 - 15,000 - 20,000 kg/m2. Longitudinal travel is 8,000 - 29,000 mm. Z is 2,000 / 2,500 / 3,000 mm, and the head nose stands 2,140 / 2,640 / 3,140 mm above the table top.

Only one spindle rating appears in the table, and it is the largest in the Correa milling range: 70 kW (93.9 hp) and 2,500 Nm (1,844 lb-ft), with programmable speeds of 6,000 / 4,000 rpm. There is no high-speed column. The HEXA M is specified for metal removal on big steel and cast parts, and buyers after fine finishing at high speed are pointed elsewhere in the range.

A beam more than ten metres long sags and twists unless something stops it, so the crossbeam has steel tie-rods inside. The ram is centred and symmetrically guided. Feed is 25 m/min in X and 30 m/min in Y and Z. An operator cabinet is standard on this model; a movable cabinet, turning plates and through-spindle coolant at 17, 36, 70 bar are options.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Up to 10,750 mm between the columns, with Y travel of 8,250 / 9,250 / 10,250 / 11,250 mm
70 kW (93.9 hp) and 2,500 Nm (1,844 lb-ft) spindle
Table load classes of 10,000 - 15,000 - 20,000 kg/m2
Z travel up to 3,000 mm and up to 3,140 mm from head nose to table top
Operator cabinet included in the standard equipment

Limitations

Top programmable speed is 6,000 rpm; no high-speed spindle is listed
X feed is 25 m/min, below the 30 m/min of the VERXA M
The narrowest version already spans 7,750 mm between columns, so the machine has a very large footprint
Turning plates, tool magazine and head-changer are optional equipment

Best For

Very wide parts between 7,750 and 10,750 mm across Wind energy hubs and other large castings Heavy roughing with 2,500 Nm (1,844 lb-ft) of spindle torque Floor loads up to 20,000 kg/m2 on a fixed table

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How wide is the Correa HEXA M?

The distance between the columns is 7,750 / 8,750 / 9,750 / 10,750 mm, with cross travel of 8,250 / 9,250 / 10,250 / 11,250 mm. The table is listed at 6,000 - 7,000 - 8,000 - 9,000 mm wide. For comparison, the VERXA M tops out at 6,750 mm between columns.

02 What spindle does the HEXA M use?

The table lists a maximum power of 70 kW (93.9 hp) and a maximum torque of 2,500 Nm (1,844 lb-ft), with programmable speeds of 6,000 / 4,000 rpm. Taper is ISO-50 Big Plus or HSK-100. The automatic universal head is standard, with other heads and a head-changer optional.

03 What are the travels and feeds of the HEXA M?

X travel is 8,000 - 29,000 mm, Y is 8,250 / 9,250 / 10,250 / 11,250 mm and Z is 2,000 / 2,500 / 3,000 mm. Maximum feed is 25 m/min in X and 30 m/min in Y and Z. All three axes run on linear guides with linear scales.

04 Can the HEXA M do turning operations?

Turning plates are listed as optional equipment, as are rotary tables. Neither is part of the standard machine, and the page gives no diameter or speed for them, so those figures have to come from the quotation.
