HARDINGE CHNC-II+ CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 6" chuck with a 1-7/8" through-spindle hole and 1-5/8" collet capacity, enabling versatile workholding for various turning operations. The machine is equipped with a General Numeric Fanuc 10T controller, a dedicated lathe control system offering conversational automatic programming and powerful PMC (programmable machine controller) functions for precision machining. The spindle delivers variable speeds ranging from 50 to 5,000 RPM, powered by a 7.5 HP motor, providing adequate torque for both roughing and finishing operations. With a maximum swing over bed of 14" and maximum turning diameter of 8", the lathe accommodates mid-range workpieces, while the 8" maximum threading diameter extends its capability for threaded component production. The machine's work envelope is defined by 4.5" X-axis travel and 12" Z-axis travel, suitable for precision turned parts and complex geometries. An 8-station turret allows rapid tool changes for multi-operation runs, enhancing productivity and reducing setup time. The Fanuc 10T control system supports advanced features including high-speed servo control for outstanding speed and precision, making this lathe ideal for job shops and production environments requiring flexible, repeatable CNC turning capabilities.
