Product catalog summary
The Hardinge Advantage
The Hardinge Group provides a variety of collets, chucks, and custom solutions tailored for modern manufacturing. Key benefits include direct collet seating in the spindle for maximum rigidity, optimal RPM utilization, and superior tolerances. The design minimizes spindle weight and overhang, enhancing accuracy and tool life.
Collet-Ready Spindle Design
The spindle design supports both collets and jaw chucks without adapters, ensuring minimal distance from spindle bearings to the tool tip for improved performance.
GS-Series Models
  • GS 42: Features a 16C spindle nose, 11-kW drive system, 175Nm torque, 6,000-rpm speed, and 42mm bar capacity.
  • GS 51: Equipped with a 20C spindle nose, 11-kW drive system, 210Nm torque, 5,000-rpm speed, and 51mm bar capacity.
  • GS 65: Offers a 25C spindle nose, 18.5-kW drive system, 504Nm torque, 4,200-rpm speed, and 65mm bar capacity.
Machine Construction
The GS-Series machines have a robust cast iron base, high-quality linear guideways, and ballscrews for superior accuracy and durability. They include a programmable tailstock, heavy-duty motors, and a non-contact magnetic spindle encoder for reliability.
Standard and Optional Features
Standard features include a 12-station vertical block top plate, spindle orient, rigid tapping, and a CNC control panel. Optional features enhance productivity, such as live tooling, sub-spindle, and thermal stabilization packages.
Workholding and Tooling
Hardinge offers a variety of spindle tooling options, including collets and chucks, to meet diverse workholding needs. The machines support quick-change tooling systems for efficiency.
Performance and Control
The machines are equipped with Hardinge/Fanuc spindle drives, offering high winding and low winding options for different operational needs. The Fanuc Oi-TD control system provides advanced programming functions, data input/output capabilities, and operational controls.
