How much does the Hardinge Conquest T42SP cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from Hardinge. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Hardinge Conquest T42SP is a twin-spindle turning centre for 42 mm (1.65 in) bar, with a C axis on both the main and the sub-spindle and a 12-station turret that can take live tooling. Going by the listed figures, a part can be turned, cross-drilled or milled, passed to the sub-spindle and finished on its back face in one cycle. The model is not shown on Hardinge's current product pages, so check the figures against the machine's own documentation.
The two spindles are not equal. The main spindle is listed at 15 kW (20 hp) and 119 Nm (88 ft-lb); the sub-spindle at 7.5 kW (10 hp). Both run to 6,000 RPM. Half the power on the second side is in keeping with back working, where the cuts are facing, chamfering and light boring, but it means the heavy stock removal should be planned for the first operation.
The working envelope is short: 165 mm (6.5 in) of X travel, 305 mm (12 in) of Z travel and the same 305 mm (12 in) maximum turning length, with a 165 mm (6.5 in) chuck. Rapids are 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Z. Collet runout is listed as 2.5 µm (0.0001 in) or better, which is what governs concentricity between the two sides of a transferred part. The control is a Fanuc 0i-TF Plus and the machine weighs 3,800 kg (8,378 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Sub-spindle listed at 6,000 RPM and 7.5 kW (10 hp) for back working in the same cycle
- C axis on both main and sub-spindle, with a 12-station turret listed as live tooling capable
- Main spindle of 15 kW (20 hp) and 119 Nm (88 ft-lb)
- Collet TIR listed as 2.5 µm (0.0001 in) or better
- Rapid traverse of 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Z
Limitations
- Sub-spindle power is 7.5 kW (10 hp), half that of the main spindle, and no sub-spindle torque is listed
- Z travel and turning length are both 305 mm (12 in), so longer shafts do not fit
- Bar capacity is 42 mm (1.65 in) through the collet
- The table gives no live-tool speed or power, and no Y axis is listed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures give the sub-spindle 6,000 RPM and 7.5 kW (10 hp), with a C axis like the main spindle. It takes the part from the main spindle so the cut-off side can be machined without a second setup. No sub-spindle torque or bar capacity is listed.
02
Bar capacity is 42 mm (1.65 in) with a collet, the chuck size is 165 mm (6.5 in), and maximum turning length is 305 mm (12 in). X travel is 165 mm (6.5 in) and Z travel is 305 mm (12 in).
03
The turret is listed as 12 stations, live tooling capable, and a C axis is listed for both spindles. The table does not give a driven-tool speed or power, or how many stations can be driven, so verify the turret and tool holders on the actual machine before quoting milled features.
04
The main spindle is listed at 15 kW (20 hp) with 119 Nm (88 ft-lb) of torque and a maximum of 6,000 RPM. That torque suits bar work in steel at 42 mm (1.65 in); it is not a machine for heavy roughing of large chucked parts.
