Performance Turning Centers Sub-Spindle / Live Tooling TURNING NIUJNG GRINDING WORKHOLDING ROTARY

Compact and Large Frame Exceptional combination of performance and price The Hardinge GS MS series of horizontal turning centers provide an exceptional combination of features for accuracy, flexibility and durability in a compact design. These machines are available in three configurations including Live Tooling & Sub-Spindle (MS), Live Tooling & Servo Tailstock (MT) and Sub Spindle (S). GS 42 / GS 51 models feature Hardinge’s unique collet-ready main spindle to increases part accuracy and surface finish quality. Chuck-style lathes are also available in the GS 150 / GS 200 models. These...

Hardinge Collet-Ready Spindle The Hardinge GS 42 and GS 51 main spindle design is both collet and jaw chuck-ready and does NOT require a spindle adapter. - Collet seats directly in the Hardinge spindle - Minimum overhang from the spindle bearings assures that spindle accuracy is transferred directly to the workpiece - Maximum rigidity and gripping power is transferred to the part - Minimum weight on spindle - Maximum utilization of RPM - Optimum T.I.R. - Gripping force directly over the workpiece - Superior tolerances and finishes - Capable of using maximum machine stroke capacity - Quick...

Servo Tailstock provides operator convenience, faster cycle times, precise positioning, reduced set-up times, and superior part to part accuracies due to consistent repeatable applied force compared to hydraulic tailstock systems. Fully-programmable #4 MT servo tailstock option eliminates human intervention compared to competitive designs. High quality linear roller guideways provide greater positioning accuracy, faster traverse rates, less machine wear, longer machine life and overall machining consistency. Robust 12-Station static BMT 45 top plate as standard. Optional BMT 45 top plate...

Minimal tool interference Bidirectional turret indexing allows shortest path indexing for reduced noncut time. The non-lift turret indexing ensures contaminant-free operation— indexing is by a brushless servomotor with positive hydraulic clamping on a 3-piece curvic coupling. The turret pivot (safety shear) feature helps prevent damage to the machine. Coolant is fed through tool holders via turret ports, allowing coolant to be precisely directed to the machining operation. Rigid tapping Synchronization between the main spindle and the Z-axis motion provides precise and fast rigid tapping...

Standard/Optional Features Live tooling/C-Axis contouring Parts catchers The 5,000-rpm live tooling option eliminates the need for many secondary milling machine operations, reducing additional part handling and setup cost. All stations of the top plate are live-tool ready with only one station actively driven at one time. Separate servomotors are used for turret indexing and live tool operations. A disc-type hydraulic spindle brake provides positive locking during static machining operations. The arm-type parts catcher option allow the operator to conveniently retrieve finished workpieces...
