New CNC machining centres from Hardinge

Hardinge has introduced a new range of compact, high-performance five-axis CNC machining centres.

The GX 250 5-AX range offers customers the productivity and performance of five-axis CNC machining technology from machines with a compact footprint and at a competitive price, the firm explains.

Ideally suited to the manufacturing of complex, small and high-precision parts, the CNC machining centres offer reduced set-ups and operator interventions while improving part accuracy and increasing work throughput.

Available in three models, the five-axis machines have a rigid C-frame fixed column design, different spindle options and a 20-station, swing-arm, bi-directional ATC, as well as in-built Dynamic Collision Protection for greater security.

"The GX 250 5-AX's introduction demonstrates and confirms Hardinge's position as a supplier of high-technology machine tools," commented Hardinge Europe sales, marketing and service director John McTernan.

Hardinge began manufacturing precision machines in 1890 and now operates manufacturing facilities worldwide.
