How much does the Hartford HSA-320EA cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Hartford HSA-320EA 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 three-metre table only 1,800 mm wide defines the Hartford HSA-320EA. X travel is 3,000 mm (118.1 in), Y travel 2,000 mm (78.7 in), and the 3,000 x 1,800 mm (118.1 x 70.9 in) table takes 10,000 kg (22,046 lb). It is a five-face double-column machine, so side faces are cut with automatic angular heads kept in a switching head compartment.
The proportions suit long, slim work such as machine beds, press bolsters, rails and weldments. Against the HSA-220EA the frame gains a metre of X on the same Y travel and its rating rises from 8,000 kg (17,637 lb) to 10,000 kg. Going wider instead means the HSA-323EA, whose 3,000 x 2,200 mm (118.1 x 86.6 in) table carries the same 10,000 kg.
Hartford builds the line around a slant cross-beam and enlarged columns whose joint with the base is 1,250 mm wide, both aimed at cutting vibration. The Z axis runs on four linear guideways and is balanced by a nitrogen counterweight. All three axes have direct-drive servo motors.
Spindle choices are a #50 gear head at 6,000 rpm (8,000 rpm optional) and a 10,000 rpm hybrid unit, driven by 18.5 / 22 kW or, optionally, 30 / 35 kW. Tool capacity is 32, with 40 and 60 as options, and Z travel is 1,000 mm or 1,200 mm.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 3,000 mm (118.1 in) of X travel on a narrow 1,800 mm table, for long slim parts
- 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) table load
- Slant beam and columns with a 1,250 mm joint width at the base
- Nitrogen counterweight on Z and direct-drive servo motors on three axes
Limitations
- Y travel of 2,000 mm (78.7 in) leaves little room beside a part as wide as the table
- Same 10,000 kg rating as the wider HSA-323EA, so weight is not what limits the choice between them
- Ballscrew support on X is an option below 4 meters

Frequently Asked Questions
01
3,000 x 1,800 mm (118.1 x 70.9 in), with eleven T-slots, and it is rated for 10,000 kg (22,046 lb). Travels are 3,000 mm in X, 2,000 mm (78.7 in) in Y and 1,000 mm in Z, or 1,200 mm in Z as an option.
02
It comes down to part width. The HSA-323EA has a 3,000 x 2,200 mm (118.1 x 86.6 in) table and 2,300 mm (90.6 in) of Y. The HSA-320EA is 1,800 mm wide with 2,000 mm of Y. Both are rated at 10,000 kg and share the same spindle list.
03
Three things stand out in the maker's description: a new slant beam design to reduce vibration, extra-large columns with a 1,250 mm joint width at the base, and a Z axis on four linear guideways. Hartford also states that the direct-drive servo motors reduce transmission backlash by more than 30%.
04
The table lists BT-50 as standard with CAT-50, DIN50 and BBT-50 in brackets as alternatives. The spindle taper is #50 and the magazine holds 32 tools, with 40 or 60 available.
