The Hardinge Group is introducing the newest
members of GS-Series turning centers, the GS 200 MSY and GS 250 MSY Performance
multitasking turning centers. "Positioned in the middle of the Hardinge turning
portfolio (above the Standard SV-Series and below the High-Performance
RS-Series), these machines offer expanded levels of functionality to address
complex parts resulting in increased throughput and reduced cycle time in a
single setup," said a Hardinge spokesperson.
These rigid multi-axis machines include powerful dual-wound spindle motors featuring 30 HP (22kW) on the main spindle and 20 HP (15kW) on the sub spindle, 10 HP (7.5kW) live tooling with C-axis, Y-axis and spindle orient as standard equipment for complex multitasking operations. Both the main and sub spindles feature integral wraparound high torque motors designed for optimum thermal stability. An oil jacket around both main and sub spindles maintains accurate temperature control through the use of the standard chiller unit providing minimal thermal growth and consistent machining accuracies.
"The Hardinge GS MSY machines feature a robust 30-degree one-piece cast iron slant bed base, heavy-duty linear roller guideways and heavy-duty fixed pre-tensioned double-nut ballscrews to support the toughest of machining applications," said the spokesperson. Other standard performance-enhancing features include: spindle speeds up to 4,500-RPM, spindle torque up to 518 ft-lbs (700Nm), 8" (200mm) or 10" (250mm) 3-jaw chuck, bar capacity up to 3.07" (78mm), 12-station universal VDI 40 top plate, 50-PSI (3.5-bar) through-tool and headwall coolant, chip conveyor interface and a swing-out Fanuc 18i control with Manual Guide i shop floor programming.
"The all-new multitasking GS 200 MSY and GS 250 MSY machines offer Hardinge quality and performance to users who need more functionality in a performance level machine at an excellent price," states Jeff Ervay, Product Manager, Turning. "Like all Hardinge turning centers, the GS-Series reflects Hardinge's commitment to quality and performance without compromise."
