HARDINGE CONQUEST T42 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 21" swing and a machining length of 13", accommodating parts with a maximum turning diameter of 9". It supports a 6" chuck size and a bar capacity of 1.625", enabling versatile workpiece handling. The lathe is powered by a robust 10 HP motor, delivering spindle speeds up to 5,000 RPM for efficient material removal and precision turning. The X-axis travel spans 5.31", while the Z-axis travel with collet reaches 13.9", providing comprehensive tool movement for complex part geometries. Its turret includes 12 positions, allowing multiple tooling setups for varied operations and reducing setup changes. The machine weighs approximately 9,000 lbs and measures 84" length by 66" width and 68" height, indicating a stable, substantial build optimized for industrial environments. The control system is a Fanuc 18-T, known for reliable CNC operation and advanced programmability, enabling precise control over machining parameters. Together, these specifications indicate a mid-sized CNC lathe suitable for industrial precision turning of small to medium workpieces with moderate complexity, balancing power, size, and tooling flexibility. This configuration adapts well to general-purpose manufacturing requiring repeatable accuracy and multiple tool changes within a single setup.
