HARDINGE GX 1000B VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a robust table/pallet size of 44.09" x 21.25", providing ample work area for a variety of machining tasks. The machine offers generous travel ranges with 40.16" on the X-axis, 21.25" on both the Y and Z axes, and a rapid traverse rate of 1417 IPM for efficient movement between operations. The spindle is equipped with a CAT#40 Big Plus taper, ensuring high rigidity and precision through simultaneous taper and face contact, which enhances tool stability and reduces deflection during heavy cutting. Spindle speed reaches up to 10,000 RPM, driven by a powerful 20 HP motor, making it suitable for high-speed and high-torque applications. The tool magazine has a capacity of 20 tools, managed by a reliable carousel-type automatic tool changer for quick and accurate tool swaps. Standard features include a coolant system to maintain optimal cutting conditions and a chip conveyor for efficient chip removal, helping to keep the workspace clean and reduce downtime. This machine is designed for precision, versatility, and productivity in demanding machining environments.
