How much does the Hartford Aero-1036G-5X cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Hartford Aero-1036G-5X 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 Aero-1036G-5X is a ten-metre gantry type 5-axis machining center in the narrowest Aero cross section. X travel is 10,000 mm (393.7 in), Y travel 3,600 mm (141.7 in), Z travel 1,100 mm (1,300 mm optional), and the table 10,000 x 3,100 mm (393.7 x 122.0 in).
Ten metres of travel with a tilting, rotating spindle is equipment for a short list of parts: wing spars and skins, helicopter blades and their moulds, rail vehicle roof and side profiles, long composite tools. They are slender, so the 3,100 mm table is seldom the constraint, and they are usually cut at high speed. The HSK-A63 spindle runs 24,000 rpm.
Traverse time counts on a part this long. Hartford's rack and pinion X drive, used on axes of 8 meters and more, is stated to reach a feed rate of 50 m/min with no backlash and low noise. The gantry runs on four linear guideways, two per side.
For heavier cutting the alternative spindle is an HSK-A100 at 12,000 rpm, and the B and C axes of the Cytec head have a maximum torque output of 1,000 Nm. The 5-faced Aero-1036G shares the table and has a #50 gear head at 6,000 rpm.
