HARDINGE CONQUEST CS42 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 19.5-inch swing and a maximum turning diameter of 9.1 inches, accommodating workpieces up to 13.8 inches between centers. Designed for precision turning operations, it operates on two linear axes (X and Z) with X-axis travel of 5.45 inches and Z-axis travel of 13.65 inches, enabling accurate machining of cylindrical parts. The machine supports bar stock up to 1.625 inches in diameter and includes a spindle through hole of 1.875 inches for efficient material handling. The main spindle delivers 10 HP at up to 5,000 RPM, while the sub-spindle provides 5 HP at up to 6,000 RPM, ensuring robust performance for a variety of turning tasks. Live tooling capability is available with 2.4 HP and a maximum speed of 4,000 RPM, allowing for milling and drilling operations without part repositioning. Rapid traverse rates of 18.6 inches per minute on the X-axis and 52.0 inches per minute on the Z-axis enhance productivity. The turret holds up to 10 tools, supporting versatile tooling setups. The lathe measures 96 inches in length, 60 inches in width, and 72 inches in height, with an approximate weight of 10,000 pounds, reflecting its heavy-duty construction and stability for high-precision machining applications.
