HARDINGE GT27-1 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Hardinge GT27-1 is a precision CNC turning center engineered for versatile machining applications across diverse materials and production scales. This slant-bed lathe accommodates a 1" bar capacity with an 11.76" swing diameter, providing operational flexibility for both small-scale precision work and larger projects. The machine features a robust Fanuc 21iTB CNC control system, ensuring reliable performance and compatibility with standard programming protocols. The spindle reaches speeds up to 6,000 RPM, delivering adequate velocity for varied machining tasks. Axis travel specifications include 11.986" on the X-axis and 11.062" on the Z-axis, enabling comprehensive workpiece manipulation and tool positioning. Rapid traverse rates of 470 IPM (X-axis) and 630 IPM (Z-axis) optimize cycle times and reduce non-cutting time. The machine operates on 230-volt three-phase electrical supply, integrating seamlessly into standard industrial facilities. Weighing 5,300 pounds, the GT27-1 provides substantial mass for operational stability during high-precision turning operations while maintaining a footprint of 77" x 61" x 69", suitable for various shop environments. The GT27-1 is recognized for its precision engineering and durability, making it an ideal solution for job shops and manufacturing facilities requiring consistent accuracy in production turning operations.
