HARDINGE GT27 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This compact 2-axis CNC turning machine delivers efficient production capabilities for small to medium-sized components. The machine accommodates bar stock up to 1 inch in diameter, making it ideal for precision shaft work, fittings, and similar turned parts. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 6,000 RPM with 5 HP of driving power, it provides adequate cutting force for a variety of materials and tooling applications. The 11.76-inch swing diameter allows for finished workpiece diameters up to this specification, while the X and Z axis travels of 11.986 and 11.062 inches respectively enable extended part lengths and complex geometry capability. Rapid positioning rates of 470 IPM on the X-axis and 630 IPM on the Z-axis minimize nonproductive time, enhancing overall cycle efficiency. The machine's footprint of approximately 77 by 61 inches with a 69-inch height makes it suitable for shop floor integration without requiring excessive floor space. Weighing approximately 5,500 pounds, this machine offers a balanced combination of rigidity and portability. Its 2-axis configuration simplifies programming and operation while maintaining the precision necessary for demanding applications. This turning machine is well-suited for job shops, contract manufacturers, and production environments requiring reliable turning performance with straightforward setup and operation.
