Hardinge GS Series - Performance

Product catalog summary
The Hardinge Advantage
The Hardinge Group provides a variety of collets, chucks, and custom solutions tailored for modern manufacturing needs. Key advantages include direct collet seating in the spindle, ensuring maximum rigidity, optimal RPM utilization, and superior tolerances.

Collet-Ready Spindle Design
The spindle design allows for the use of both collets and jaw chucks without an adapter, minimizing the distance from spindle bearings to the tool tip for improved accuracy.

GS-Series Models
  • GS 42: Features a 16C spindle nose, 11-kW drive system, 6,000-rpm speed, and 42mm bar capacity.
  • GS 51: Equipped with a 20C spindle nose, 11-kW drive system, 5,000-rpm speed, and 51mm bar capacity.
  • GS 65: Offers a 25C spindle nose, 18.5-kW drive system, 4,200-rpm speed, and 65mm bar capacity.


Machine Construction
The GS-Series machines are constructed with a robust cast iron base, high-quality linear guideways, and heavy-duty components for enhanced accuracy and durability. They include a programmable tailstock, high-class ball screws, and a slant bed design.

Spindle and Motor Design
The machines feature a tri-set angular contact bearing design for the spindle, ensuring rigidity and thermal stability. The dual-wound spindle motor supports heavy-duty cutting.

Tooling and Options
Standard features include a 12-station vertical block top plate, rigid tapping, and various productivity options such as live tooling, sub-spindle, and thermal stabilization packages.

Control System
The machines are equipped with FANUC Oi-TD controls, offering features like absolute/incremental programming, canned cycles, and tool life management.

Performance and Reliability
GS-Series turning centers are designed for speed, power, and accuracy, providing a compact and affordable solution for high-performance machining.

Specifications Overview
The document details specifications for the GS-Series Performance Turning Centers, specifically models GS42, GS51, and GS65. Key specifications include peak power ratings, torque ratings, base and maximum speeds, and dimensions for components like the carriage, cross slide, and turret.

Power and Torque
Each model has different power and torque ratings, with peak power ranging from 14 HP to 34 HP and torque ratings from 92 ft/lbs to 237 ft/lbs. Base speed varies from 350 rpm to 1400 rpm, while maximum speed ranges from 1050 rpm to 6000 rpm.

Turret and Tooling
The turret features a bi-directional top plate with 12 stations, accommodating square and round shank tools. Index times for adjacent stations are specified, with options for live tooling and C-axis contouring.

Tailstock and Part Handling
The tailstock is fully programmable with hydraulic or servo positioning. Maximum part lengths and feed rates are provided, along with thrust capabilities.

Miscellaneous Specifications
Includes power supply requirements, coolant tank capacity, machine weight, and dimensions. The document also lists various global locations of Hardinge companies and contact information.

Company Overview
Hardinge Group is a globally diversified company with operations in North America, Europe, and Asia. It offers a wide range of products including turning centers, grinding solutions, and machining centers under various brand names.
