How much does the Hartford Aero-641B cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Hartford Aero-641B 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
A 6,000 x 3,600 mm (236.2 x 141.7 in) table and 4,100 mm (161.4 in) of Y travel define the Hartford Aero-641B. X travel is 6,000 mm (236.2 in). The machine is a gantry type 5-faced machining center, one size below the widest six-metre Aero.
On a job with many faces the tool count climbs quickly, and the Aero table handles the magazine in an unusual way: it lists two types. The S type holds 30 tools, with 40 as an option. The A type holds 40, with 60 as an option. Hartford's tables do not explain the difference beyond capacity, so it is a point to raise in the quotation, along with the shank standard. BT-50 is the default and CAT50, DIN69871A and BBT50 are listed as alternatives.
Tools are one store, heads another. The head changer keeps its universal, 90 degree and extension heads in an independent magazine, and Hartford combines the head cabin with a vertical and horizontal tool change system.
The rest of the table is brief: 5,000 kg/m² table load, 1,000 mm Z travel with a longer travel optional, a #50 gear head at 6,000 rpm and an 8,000 rpm option. The narrower Aero-636B has a 6,000 x 3,100 mm (236.2 x 122.0 in) table and 3,600 mm (141.7 in) of Y.
