Back To Press Releases

The multi-tasking lathe is available in multiple configurations for both 42mm and 51mm bar capacity.

BERWYN, PENNSYLVANIA, USA—July 15, 2020 – Hardinge Inc., the leading international provider of advanced metal-cutting manufacturing tool solutions and accessories, today announced the introduction of the TALENT®TT Multi-Tasking Lathe. The Hardinge Talent TT Series of Multi-Tasking turning centers is available in a variety of configurations and is intended to minimize or eliminate post-secondary operations which often time requires additional machinery and operators. These advanced level turning centers feature twin spindles and twin 16 station turrets for increased productivity, improved part throughput, improved part accuracy, reduced parts handling and reduced part cycle times to increase your profit levels. The machines feature an orthogonal Y axis on the top turret and all stations on both turrets can be live capable for prismatic milling capability.

 

“This machine truly has all the features you would want from a twin-turret designed turning center.  From its rigid design with a small footprint and features like a twin 16 station turret for maximum tool capacity and orthogonal Y axis design on the top turret, it is a great addition to our turning line in the Talent Series.,” said, Thomas Sheehy, Global Turning Products Specialist, “This machine was designed with several different primary and secondary applications in mind to ensure it can be used universally.”
