HARDINGE CS-GT CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features an 11.75-inch swing with 2 controlled axes, enabling precise machining of parts within these dimensions. It accommodates a 6-inch chuck size and supports a bar capacity of up to 1.06 inches, making it suitable for medium-sized turning operations. Powered by a robust 5 HP motor, it delivers a maximum spindle speed of 6,000 RPM, optimizing cutting efficiency and surface finish. The machine operates without a tailstock, focusing on turning center applications where stationary support is not required. It has accumulated 5,500 hours of cutting time, indicating moderate use and remaining operational life. The lathe is equipped with the GE Fanuc 18-T CNC control, known for its reliability and versatility in industrial CNC applications. This control system offers precise axis control, advanced program management, and a user-friendly interface for complex contouring and threading tasks typical of lathe operations. The GE Fanuc 18-T supports standard G- and M-code programming, enabling effective spindle speed regulation, coolant control, and tool changes, essential for streamlined manufacturing processes. Overall, this lathe is designed for high-precision turning applications, combining solid mechanical features with an established CNC control platform to support a wide range of production requirements.
