How much does the Hartford 5A-65E cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Hartford 5A-65E 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
The Hartford 5A-65E is the mid-size simultaneous 5-axis vertical machining center of the 5A series, with a Ø 650 mm (25.6 in) table that carries 500 kg (1,102 lb). Linear travels are 650 mm (25.6 in) in X, 520 mm (20.5 in) in Y and 460 mm (18.1 in) in Z. The B axis tilts +110° ~ -40° and C rotates 360°.
Its spindle table is short and specific. The built-in spindle is a single 24,000 rpm version, and the DDS spindle is listed at 10,000 / 12,000 / 15,000 rpm. The motor row reads 9.8 opt. 12.5 kW, one pair of figures where the sibling 5A-65EF lists 7.5 / 11 kW with 15 / 18.5 kW optional. Read together, the E is specified as the fast, light-cutting contouring machine of the two.
Two accuracy statements appear on this model's page that are missing from the smaller 5A-32E. Hartford says five-axis error compensation reaches within 20 μm, and that overall machine thermal countermeasures hold accuracy within 3 μm after compensation. Built-in spindle shaft cooling is credited with a 70% cut in spindle thermal displacement.
The tool magazine is an arm type with 24 pockets; 30, 40 and 60 are listed in brackets. Shanks are BT40, with BBT, CAT, DIN and HSK A63 as alternatives. The table has T-slots listed as 18 x 60° (6) mm.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The rotary table is Ø 650 mm (25.6 in) and carries 500 kg (1,102 lb). T-slots are listed as 18 x 60° (6) mm. Fixture weight counts toward the load figure.
02
X 650 mm (25.6 in), Y 520 mm (20.5 in) and Z 460 mm (18.1 in). The B axis range is +110° ~ -40° and the C axis range is 360°.
03
The 5A-65E is listed as a 5 Axis Vertical Machining Center and the 5A-65EF as a 4+1 axis version. Table, travels, spindle speeds and magazine are the same. The motor rows differ: 9.8 opt. 12.5 kW on the 5A-65E against 7.5 / 11 opt. 15 / 18.5 kW on the 5A-65EF.
04
Five-axis error compensation that reaches within 20 μm, overall machine thermal countermeasures with accuracy within 3 μm after compensation, and spindle run-out within 5μm. A headline on the page also quotes ± 5 μ positioning accuracy (JIS) under the MGPS standard.
