Huron KX 300 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Huron KX 300 is a high-capacity 5-axis gantry machining center engineered for precision manufacturing of large, complex components. Built with a rigid double-column portal structure, this machine accommodates workpieces weighing up to 20,000 kg on a substantial table measuring 5,200 x 2,000 mm, featuring 15 T-slots for secure component clamping. The machining volume extends to 4,080 x 2,180 x 1,550 mm, enabling comprehensive 5-sided machining operations in a single setup. The machine is equipped with a Heidenhain iTNC 530 CNC control system providing advanced programming capabilities and real-time monitoring. Its spindle operates at a maximum speed of 18,000 rpm with a power output of 30 kW, delivering the cutting force necessary for both roughing and finishing operations on hard materials. The simultaneous 2-axis milling head incorporates a B-axis with ±105° rotation and a C-axis with ±190° rotation, enabling multi-directional cutting strategies and reducing setup times. The automatic tool changer maintains 60 positions, facilitating rapid tool indexing and uninterrupted production flow. Rapid feedrates reach 20,000 mm/min along linear axes, optimizing cycle times for high-productivity environments. The HSK A-63 spindle mount ensures precision tooling compatibility, while the machine's modular design permits customization for specific manufacturing requirements. Advanced thermal stability and harmonic balance features minimize deflection, maintaining tight tolerances throughout extended machining operations. This configuration makes the KX 300 ideal for aerospace, automotive, and precision engineering applications demanding exceptional accuracy and flexibility.
