Hartford 5A-32EF

Q: How much does the Hartford 5A-32EF cost?

The price estimate for the Hartford 5A-32EF is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/hartford-5a-32ef#price; the request is passed to Hartford or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Hartford 5A-32EF that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

Hartford lists the 5A-32EF as a 4+1 axis machine: a vertical machining center with a tilting, rotating table that is meant for positional five-sided work more than for continuous 5-axis contouring. The table is Ø 320 mm (12.6 in), and travels are 450 mm (17.7 in) in X, 400 mm (15.7 in) in Y and 360 mm (14.2 in) in Z.

Most prismatic parts do not need five axes moving at once. They need the part turned to a new face, locked, and machined with ordinary 3-axis or 4-axis toolpaths. That is the job of a 4+1 configuration, and it avoids both the programming effort and the control options that full simultaneous machining requires. The B axis covers +110° ~ -40°, enough to reach undercuts as well as the five open faces, and C turns through 360°.

Everything mechanical matches the 5A-32E. The table load is H200 / V150 kg. A 60-tool magazine is listed, with 120 as the larger version, and the minimum tool change time is 1.38 secs. Spindles are #40: DDS at 10,000 / 12,000 / 15,000 / 20,000 rpm or built-in at 15,000 / 20,000 / 24,000 rpm, driven by 7.5 / 9.8 kW or optionally 10 / 12.5 kW (S6~40%).

Hartford points to a full-support Y axis that counters sag, direct-coupled ballscrew drives on the linear axes and an oil-air lubricated spindle with run-out within 5μm.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

4+1 axis configuration for five-sided machining in one clamping
B axis range of +110° ~ -40° reaches below the horizontal
60 or 120 tool magazine with a 1.38 secs minimum tool change time
Spindle run-out within 5μm, as stated by Hartford
DDS spindle up to 20,000 rpm or built-in spindle up to 24,000 rpm

Limitations

Listed as 4+1 axis; simultaneous 5-axis work is the role of the 5A-32E
Workpiece weight limited to H200 / V150 kg
X travel of 450 mm (17.7 in) and a Ø 320 mm (12.6 in) table restrict part size
Motor power of 7.5 / 9.8 kW, or 10 / 12.5 kW as the option, suits light cuts

Best For

Five-sided machining of small housings, manifolds and blocks Shops moving from 3-axis work with multiple setups to single-setup machining Small-batch production with many tools on call Positional drilling and milling at compound angles

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does 4+1 axis mean on the Hartford 5A-32EF?

Hartford's heading for this model is 5 Axis Vertical Machining Center (4+1 axis). In general use the term describes a machine on which one rotary axis positions and locks while the other four axes cut. The page itself does not define which axis is the positioning one, so confirm that with Hartford.

02 What size workpiece fits the 5A-32EF?

The table is Ø 320 mm (12.6 in) and the load limit is H200 / V150 kg. Linear travels are 450 mm (17.7 in), 400 mm (15.7 in) and 360 mm (14.2 in) in X, Y and Z.

03 How many tools does the 5A-32EF carry?

The ATC row reads 60 / 120 pcs. Shanks are BT40, and BBT, CAT, DIN and HSK A63 are listed as alternatives. Hartford gives the minimum tool change time as 1.38 secs.

04 Is there a larger 4+1 axis model than the 5A-32EF?

Yes. The 5A-65EF has a Ø 650 mm (25.6 in) table, a 500 kg (1,102 lb) load and travels of 650 mm (25.6 in), 520 mm (20.5 in) and 460 mm (18.1 in). The 5A-95Q is larger again, with a Ø 800 mm (31.5 in) table.
