HARDINGE GX-300 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a robust 4-axis configuration, designed for high-precision machining operations. The work envelope offers X, Y, and Z-axis travels of 11.8 inches, 15.8 inches, and 16.9 inches respectively, supporting a wide range of part sizes. The machine is equipped with a powerful 20 HP spindle, capable of reaching speeds up to 7,083 RPM, and utilizes a #40 spindle taper for secure tool holding. The table measures 23.6 inches in length and 15.8 inches in width, providing a stable platform for workpieces. Tool capacity is 20, with maximum tool diameters of 3.15 inches (full drum) and 5.9 inches (empty pockets), and a maximum tool length of 8.86 inches, accommodating a variety of cutting tools. The maximum tool weight is 13.2 lbs, ensuring compatibility with heavy-duty tooling. Positioning speed in manual mode ranges from 0 to 354 IPM, while rapid traverse rates for X, Y, and Z axes reach 1,181 IPM, enabling efficient movement between machining operations. The distance from the table to the gauge plane is adjustable from 5.9 inches to 22.8 inches, allowing flexibility in workpiece setup. The machine weighs approximately 11,000 lbs and has overall dimensions of 57.09 inches (length) x 100.87 inches (depth) x 93.35 inches (height). A coolant system with a 31.7-gallon capacity ensures effective temperature control during extended machining cycles.
