HARDINGE CONQUEST GT27 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a 2-axis CNC lathe designed for precision turning and manufacturing operations on cylindrical workpieces. The machine features a 4.0-inch chuck capacity and accommodates bar stock up to 1.06 inches in diameter, making it suitable for small-to-medium sized parts production. With a maximum swing of 11.7 inches and machining length of 11.2 inches, the lathe can handle workpieces within these dimensional constraints without mechanical interference. The 2-axis configuration operates along the X-axis (controlling diameter) and Z-axis (controlling length), enabling efficient execution of turning operations on symmetrical parts. Powered by a 5.0 HP spindle motor capable of reaching 6,000 RPM, this machine provides adequate horsepower for general turning applications on small-to-medium sized components. The absence of a tailstock limits its capability for supporting longer workpieces during extended machining operations. The GE FANUC 21T CNC control system manages tool positioning, speed, and distance automatically, eliminating manual operation. Weighing 5,700 pounds with dimensions of 70 inches length, 58.7 inches depth, and 62 inches height, this lathe requires substantial floor space and proper facility infrastructure. The specifications indicate this machine is ideal for high-precision applications requiring tight tolerances typical of production runs where repeatability and consistency are essential.
