Key differentiators

High degree of machine stiffness qualified by Finite Element Analysis
High surface finish capability of eight micro-inch or better
Ball bar testing for superior geometric accuracy
Dynamic balancing of spindle and drive motor
Integral wrap around spindle motor technology to eliminate belts
Matched high precision spindle bearings
Ability to maintain 3 μ micron total deviation in diameter after a brief warm-up
High repeatability accuracy – 0,76 μ
Robust control/motor/drive package with 0,1 μ control resolution
High accuracy X-axis digital glass scales

Collet-ready spindle advantages

Collet seats directly in the Hardinge spindle
Maximum rigidity and gripping power is transferred to the part
Maximum utilization of RPM
Minimum weight on spindle
Minimum overhang from the spindle bearings that assures spindle accuracy is transferred directly to the workpiece
Optimum T.I.R.
Gripping force directly over the workpiece
Superior tolerances and finishes
Capable of using maximum machine stroke capacity
Longer tool life
Quick changeover

Live tooling
Live tool holders start at 8,000 RPM and are capable of up to 32,000 RPM when purchased with ratios of 2:1 or 4:1 when high speeds are required.The Hardinge BMT live tooling holders provide superior run-out within .00012” (3 micron) making it the overall best in class tooling system.
