HARDINGE CHNC1 PRECISION CNC CHUCKER CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 6" chuck size, supporting workpieces up to 8" in turning diameter and 12" in machining length, with a maximum swing over the bed of 14". Designed for precision turning operations, it operates on two linear axes (X and Z), offering a maximum X-axis travel of 4.5" and Z-axis travel of 12". The machine is equipped with an 8-position turret for versatile tooling options and delivers a maximum feed rate of 200 IPM on the X-axis and 400 IPM on the Z-axis. The spindle, featuring an ANSI A2-5" nose and a 1-7/8" through-hole, is driven by a 7.4 HP main motor, providing spindle speeds from 50 to 5000 RPM for a wide range of materials and applications. The machine does not include a tailstock, making it suitable for shorter workpieces or those that do not require additional support. Control is managed by a Siemens General Numeric system, ensuring reliable and accurate operation. The maximum swing and turning diameter specifications allow for efficient machining of medium-sized cylindrical parts, while the 16C collet option accommodates workpieces up to 1-5/8" in diameter. This lathe is ideal for high-precision, high-repeatability production runs in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing, where consistent accuracy and robust performance are essential.
