RS-Series High-PerformanceMulti-Tasking Turning Centers

Featuring our world-famous collet-ready high-precision spindle, delivering unparalleled performance

RS-Series turning centers are unmatched in the industry for high precision. Vibration control, thermal stability and accuracy result in superior part round- ness, surface fi nish and unparalleled SPC (statistical process control) capability. The RS and Super-Precision RS turn- ing centers are powerful, collet-ready spindle machines that utilize a wide range of Hardinge precision workholding devices for the most stringent machin- ing requirements. They are also ideal for “hard milling” or “hard turning” the toughest of materials to grinding qual- ity fi nishes. So whether it’s high-precision part production or machining precision parts complete in a single set-up utilizing an array of multi-tasking features, the new RS-Series machines will allow you to get results that no other machine in the industry can!
