HARDINGE -- UNSPECIFIED -- CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 6.0-inch pneumatic chuck and accommodates bar stock up to 1.65 inches in diameter, optimized for medium-sized cylindrical workpieces. It operates on two linear axes (X and Z), providing precise control over diameter and length, with travels of 7.8 inches (X) and 13.8 inches (Z). The lathe delivers a robust 10 HP spindle motor power with a maximum spindle speed of 5,000 RPM, enabling efficient material removal on a variety of metals. The spindle uses an A2-5 nose configuration facilitating standard tool mounting. With a swing of 21.0 inches and a maximum turning diameter of 8.3 inches, it supports parts up to 13.9 inches in machining length and a distance between centers of 13.8 inches, allowing for versatile part sizes. The turret houses 10 stations for multiple tool setups, enhancing productivity by minimizing tool change time. Control is managed via a Fanuc 21T system with Alpha drives, providing reliable CNC functionality and high repeatability for complex and consistent part production. Overall, this lathe suits applications requiring precise 2-axis turning with moderate power, capable of handling a range of part dimensions and tool configurations for efficient batch or custom machining. It balances power, size, and control sophistication for effective performance in precision turning operations.
