Four new CNC turning centers from Hardinge provide reduced cycle times and increased throughput in a single setup, plus quality construction and reliable performance. These small-frame machines are designed for small to medium sized workpieces and offer expanded functionalities to successfully machine complex parts.
When considering hard turning, the question is not “Can it be done?” because many machine tools can hard turn. Instead the question is, “How well can it be done?” Success in hard turning is largely a measure of the machine construction and design along with the workholding and tool holding. The level of rigidity and damping in a hard turning application cannot be minimized. That’s where Hardinge has a competitive advantage.
Dayton, Ohio – Gosiger, Inc., a leading machine tool distributor and factory automation provider, announces that it can now supply the Hardinge VMC GX 1000 vertical machining center (VMC) from Hardinge equipped with the Okuma THINC control system. The result is a value-priced VMC with enhanced capabilities and, for Okuma CNC users, the additional convenience of a common control system.
Adding THINC increases the VMC GX 1000 maximum feed speed to 1417 ipm (36 m/min) from 392 ipm (10 m/min) and makes acceleration and deceleration faster and more precise. Additionally, THINC enables the VMC to increase throughput by reducing processing time from control to tool to a mere 3-5 milliseconds, increases power to allow machining of harder alloys to 60 Rockwell, simplifies part programming with on-board capabilities, and increases program storage to 2 GB.
“Work smarter, not just harder” has been a manufacturing mantra for a number of years. Usually this directive is aimed at production managers and machine operators. However the concept recently took on a new meaning when Gosiger, along with fellow Okuma dealers Hartwig and Morris, convinced Okuma to apply the company’s vaunted THINC system to the Hardinge-built Bridgeport VMC GX 1000.

One of the products they specialize in is 5-axis CNC machines. Their latest generation of XR-Series 5-axis vertical machining centers promises to bring instant and positive results to your parts creation and manufacturing. The machines unrivalled technology, paired with unwavering commitment to improving the customers’ productivity and business performance contribute to the 5-axis CNC machine’s success.
Hardinge FlexC collet systems are compatible with many CNC lathes and are interchangeable with other brands on the market. Substitute a FlexC collet system for 16C, 20C and 25C collet applications to meet special accuracy requirements, or mount it on a chuck-style lathe or rotary indexer for increased versatility. The spindle mount will fit on A2-5, A2-6, A2-8 and some flat back spindles (main and sub). Once the FlexC spindle mount is attached, different collet head sizes can be interchanged from job to job. Hardinge stocks 42 and 65mm collet sizes in round smooth and serrated styles. Hex and square sizes are made to order. Some examples of custom-manufactured applications include stepped holes, special shapes and off-center work.
