Hardinge GX1000 OSP VMC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center delivers robust performance for precision manufacturing with a compact footprint of 106" × 86" × 104" and weighs approximately 13,200 lbs. The machine features a 44.1" × 21.6" table capable of supporting maximum loads of 1,760 lbs, with travel capabilities of 40.2" (X-axis), 21.3" (Y-axis), and 21.3" (Z-axis). The spindle assembly offers variable positioning from 5.9" to 27.2" above the table, accommodating diverse workpiece geometries. Operating at speeds up to 12,000 RPM with a 25 HP spindle motor and CAT 40 taper, the machine achieves rapid traverse rates of 1,417 IPM across all axes, with cutting feed rates ranging from 0.04 to 787 IPM for optimal material removal rates. The automatic tool changer accommodates 30 tools, accepting implements up to 3.1" in diameter (5.9" with adjacent tool spacing) and 11.8" in length, with a maximum tool weight of 15.4 lbs. Tool exchange efficiency is exceptional, with 1.2-second tool-to-tool changes and 3.5-second chip-to-chip cycles, maximizing production efficiency. The system is controlled by Okuma's OSP-P300M CNC control platform, featuring a 10.4-inch high-resolution touchscreen interface with intuitive programming capabilities, real-time diagnostics, and comprehensive data management. Standard features include a coolant circulation system for thermal management and chip evacuation, an integrated chip conveyor system for efficient debris removal, and rigid tapping functionality for repeatable threading operations. The machine requires 30 KVA of industrial power and represents a comprehensive solution for complex multi-axis machining applications.
