How much does the Hartford HSA-328 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Hartford HSA-328 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
Fifteen tonnes on a three-metre table is a lot of load for the length. The Hartford HSA-328 is a short, heavy double-column machining center with a 3,000 x 2,500 mm (118.1 x 98.4 in) table rated for 15,000 kg (33,069 lb), 3,000 mm (118.1 in) of X travel and 2,800 mm (110.2 in) of Y.
The rating rests on the table's support. Hartford puts three linear guideways under the X axis of its x28, x32 and x36 models and says the third guideway resists twisting during machining and raises rigidity by more than 50%. A table carried at its centre as well as its edges does not sag between the rails when a dense block sits in the middle.
The cross-beam is a slant design and the columns join the base over a width of 1,250mm. Z travel is 780 mm, optionally 1,000 mm or 1,200 mm.
A #50 spindle is standard in three forms: gear head at 6,000 / 8,000 rpm, DDS at 10,000 / 12,000 rpm, built-in at 12,000 rpm. The motor is 15 / 18.5 kW, with 18.5 / 22 kW, 22 / 26 kW and 30 /37 kW as options. Tools: 32, or 40 or 60, on BT-50 shanks.
