HARDINGE GX1000 OSP VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a robust table measuring 44" x 21.25", providing a substantial work surface for versatile machining operations. It offers precise axis travels with 40.16" in X, 21.25" in both Y and Z directions, enabling machining of larger parts and complex geometries. The machine is equipped with a high-speed spindle capable of up to 12,000 RPM, powered by a 20 HP motor, allowing for efficient material removal and fine surface finishes. The spindle utilizes a CAT #40 taper, a standard interface ensuring secure tool holding and optimal load distribution during high-speed CNC milling. The spindle nose-to-table height range spans from 5.7" to 26.97", accommodating a wide range of workpiece sizes and tooling setups. Rapid traverse rates reach 1417 inches per minute, facilitating quick positioning, while cutting feed rates max out at 472 inches per minute, supporting productive machining cycles. The tool management system includes a side-mounted tool changer with a 30-tool magazine capacity, enabling extended automated machining without manual intervention for tool swaps. This configuration supports high productivity and precision for complex or multi-step milling tasks. Overall, this machine combines significant travel dimensions, powerful spindle capabilities, and an efficient tool handling system, making it suitable for demanding CNC milling applications requiring high-speed and high-feed operations with CAT40 tooling compatibility.
