HARDINGE CHNC-I CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe is a robust, two-axis machine designed for precision turning of cylindrical workpieces. With a bar capacity of 1.625 inches, it supports stock up to that diameter for continuous machining. The lathe delivers 7.5 horsepower and achieves a maximum spindle speed of 5,000 RPM, enabling efficient material removal and high productivity for a wide range of metals and plastics. Its maximum turning diameter is 8 inches, and the swing over the bed is 13.75 inches, allowing for the machining of larger diameter parts. The maximum machining length is 11.7 inches, suitable for medium-length components. The machine does not include a tailstock, live tooling, or a sub-spindle, focusing on straightforward turning operations. The lathe’s footprint measures 92 inches wide, 70 inches deep, and 65 inches high, with an operating weight of 5,000 pounds, ensuring stability during high-speed cutting. Control is managed through a GE-Fanuc 0-T CNC system, providing reliable automation and precise programming for consistent part production. This lathe is ideal for shops requiring dependable, high-accuracy turning for symmetrical parts without the need for advanced multi-axis or secondary operations.
