Hardinge Inc. QUEST GT27SP

QUEST GT27SP Gang Tool CNC Lathe The Hardinge Super-Precision QUEST GT27SP Gang Tool CNC Lathe combines high performance with high productivity. Surface finishes of 8 micro-inch and exacting part roundness of .000015 inches can be achieved*. Plus, a continuous machining accuracy of .0002 inches* gives the QUEST GT27SP a machining consistency to support SPC requirements. Accuracy Certification is included. The QUEST GT27SP gives you the productivity you demand for lean manufacturing with the Hardinge-exclusive interchangeable tool top plate which dramatically reduces setup and cycle times. In addition, the patented jaw chuck/collet ready spindle yields faster feeds and higher speeds with exacting accuracy. And, with a super-stable, 1,800-lb HARCRETE base, superior machining and longer tool life (30% or more) can be achieved. Super-Precision Gang Tooling. Perfected by Hardinge. Key features include: Fast acceller ation/decelleration spindle--0 to 8,000-rpm in 3.5 seconds! Precision 1-1/16" bar capacity collet spindle Powerful 5-hp spindle drive with 80- to 8,000-rpm speed range Quick spindle tooling changeover Cut-to-cut time is drastically reduced with gang-tool configuration (no time lost on turret indexing) Pre-tooled top plates can be removed and interchanged within .0002" in under one minute Accommodates up to 12 tools for small diameter workpieces Tools can be added or removed from any location without disturbing any other tool Optional tool touch probe offset calibration Low-friction/zero-stiction linear guideways for improved accuracy and part finishes Rapid traverse rates of 708 ipm (X-Axis) and 945 ipm (Z-Axis) Absolute encoders and preset servo drive positioning eliminate homing sequence for X- and Z-Axis Super-stable, 1,800-lb HARCRETE polymer composite base Use of water- or oil-base coolants 6,000-rpm, 3-spindle Live tooling available Coolant
