FEA (fi nite element analysis) techniques were used to design a rigid, structurally balanced machine. Our rugged cast iron bases with HARCRETE > polymer composite (synthetic granite) reinforcement offer added stiffness with superior damping characteristics of vibration to the workpiece for fi ner surface fi nishes and increased tool life. HARCRETE is strategically located in the base cavities as well as directly above the feet to assure maximum rigidity. What you end up with is a superior machine structure com- pared to machines made solely with a cast iron base. > Our powerful belted main...

Super-Precision CNC lathes are designed and manufactured to provide solutions for ex-tremely close tolerances and very fi ne surface fi nishes. Heat shields and isolation blocks are built into the spindle motor for controlled thermal growth. Spindle motor and collet closer assemblies are dynamically balanced in two planes to a G-1 specifi cation. X- and Z-axis error compensation is performed to fi ne tune positioning and compensate offset at the tool tip. Programmable resolution and tool offset capability is .000010/.00010mm. > The special-accuracy main spindles for Super-Precision machines...

Hardinge is the recognized market leader in providing hard turningӔ machines, workholding and process support. This is evidenced by our extensive technical resources at our web sitewww.hardinge.com. Additionally, SPC (statistical process control) for size repeatability, surface fi nish quality and thermal stability is a hallmark for QUEST > ׮ lathes. All Super-Precision > machines are built and tested to ensure Γin-tolerance parts and sur-face fi nishes with predictable tool wear. Inherent design features for SPC control and ԓhard turning capabilities include: ԕ HARCRETE > -reinforced cast...
