How much does the Hartford HSA-523EAY cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Hartford HSA-523EAY 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 HSA-523EAY is a five-metre five-face double-column machine for long parts of moderate weight that need their sides machined. X travel is 5,000 mm (196.9 in), Y travel 3,100 mm (122.0 in), and the 5,000 x 2,200 mm (196.9 x 86.6 in) table carries 15,000 kg (33,069 lb).
Its nearest relative is the HSA-523EA with 2,300 mm (90.6 in) of Y. The EAY keeps the nineteen-slot table and the load rating and lengthens the cross-beam so an angular head can run the full five metres along either flank of a part that covers the table.
Typical candidates are welded frames for packaging and printing machines, long aluminium structures and conveyor beds, where the top face carries mounting pads and the sides carry hole patterns. Dense steel parts of this length will usually exceed 15,000 kg; the HSA-528EAY, rated for 20,000 kg (44,092 lb), is the model for those.
A nitrogen counterweight balances the Z axis, which Hartford says halves hydraulic oil temperature. The spindle is #50 and runs 6,000 rpm as a gear head, 8,000 rpm with the optional gear head or 10,000 rpm as a hybrid. Z travel is 1,000 mm (1,200 mm optional).

Frequently Asked Questions
01
5,000 mm (196.9 in) X travel, 3,100 mm (122.0 in) Y travel, 1,000 mm Z travel with 1,200 mm optional, and a 5,000 x 2,200 mm (196.9 x 86.6 in) table rated for 15,000 kg (33,069 lb).
02
The table is 2,200 mm wide and the Y travel 3,100 mm (122.0 in). The surplus lets the spindle move outside the part with an angular head mounted, so the long sides can be machined in the same setup as the top.
03
The HSA-528EAY has a 5,000 x 2,500 mm (196.9 x 98.4 in) table, 3,600 mm (141.7 in) of Y travel and a 20,000 kg (44,092 lb) rating. The HSA-523EAY is narrower and carries 15,000 kg.
04
BT-50 is the standard shank for the #50 spindle. The table also lists CAT-50, DIN-50 and BBT-50. Magazine capacity is 32 tools, with 40 or 60 as the larger options.
