In Booth S-8738, Hardinge Inc. (Elmira, NY) will debut their TALENT® 51 MSY CNC Turning Center that features the quick change Collet-Ready Spindle for better part accuracy and surface finish capabilities as compared with conventional spindles. The machine also comes standard with live tooling, subspindle and Y-axis to meet the most demanding machining challenges and allow for part-complete operations. The TALENT 51 MSY features a 5,000 rpm 25 hp main spindle with 2 in bar capacity. It offers a generous turning diameter of 12.2 in and a maximum turning length of 24.9 in. The 12 station turret uses ¾ in square shank and 1-1/4 in round shank tooling and 6,000 rpm maximum live tooling caplity is standard. The turret also provides ½ station index for up to 24 tools. The machine is offered with a Fanuc 0i-TF control packed with a host of standard control features.

The CONQUEST® H51 will be displayed with a newly released hydraulically-operated steady rest. This new attachment is the ideal tool to support long workpieces without distorting or deflecting the part. The machine features a 20 hp, 5,000 rpm A2-6 in main spindle with a 2 in bar capacity. It offers a generous maximum turning diameter of 12.3 in and a maximum turning length of 25.5 in. The 12 station turret offers ½ station index for up to 24 tools. The machine offers a wide variety of standard features such as through-tool coolant, bar feed, and chip conveyor interfaces, three position stack light, PCMCIA memory card, USB Capability, rigid tapping and many others including state-of-the-art machine crash protection.

On display for the first time will be the new Bridgeport XT 630 5-Axis Vertical Machining Center, a fully digital, high quality machine tool designed to achieve maximum capacity and performance in the aerospace, mold and die, medical, automotive and other manufacturing sectors. This machine has been developed to provide a powerful and precise solution to meet the needs of the most demanding metal cutting user. Manufactured from quality-sourced grey cast iron to the highest standards, the Bridgeport XT 630 5-Axis is packed with features. The machine has a highly sophisticated, yet user-friendly Siemens 840D-SL control with a 19 in LCD. Axis travels are X: 762 mm (30 in), Y: 630 mm (24.8 in), and Z: 600 mm (24 in). Standard machine equipment includes Big Plus CT40 spindle, 15,000 rpm direct-coupled spindle with oil chiller, coolant chip flush system, three color stack light, 40 tool swing-arm ATC, pre-wiring for Renishaw part probe, through-ball screw chiller, preparation for through spindle coolant (with a rotary union) and an A- and C-axis encoder.

The Bridgeport CONQUEST V480 APC Vertical Machining Center with integrated automatic pallet changer is a very compact yet rugged machine that is developed for applications that require speed, accuracy as well as high volume production. It features XYZ rapid traverse rates of 1,417 ipm and acceleration rates of X: 6 m/sec², Y: 4.6 m/sec², Z: 3.75 m/sec² for fast and accurate responses to all machining needs. The user-friendly Mitsubishi M70V control with NAVI MILL programming is standard. The flexibility and throughput of the Bridgeport CONQUEST V480 APC is ideal for both job shop and OEM.

The Bridgeport CONQUEST V1000 is packed with features to meet and exceed the requirements of the demanding metal cutting market. This machine provides very fast rapid traverse of 1,692 ipm on X- and Y-axis and 1,417 ipm on the Z- axis, with a highly sophisticated, yet user-friendly Mitsubishi M70V control with NAVI MILL programming and 10.4 in LCD. The machine features a powerful direct-drive 20 hp, 10,000 rpm (12,000 rpm and 15,000 rpm options) spindle motor with 110 ft-lb of torque and a 30-tool swing-arm automatic tool changer. The machine is designed for with outstanding rigidity. Large, robust 45 mm ball screws provided on all axes and 35 mm linear guides are standard on the X-axis with 45 size guides on the Y- and Z-axis.
