How much does the Hartford HSA-636EAY cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Hartford HSA-636EAY 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
Six metres by three, with a gantry that travels 4,400 mm (173.2 in): the Hartford HSA-636EAY is one of the large machines of the long-Y five-face line. X travel is 6,000 mm (236.2 in), the table 6,000 x 3,000 mm (236.2 x 118.1 in), the load rating 24,000 kg (52,910 lb).
At this size the workpieces tend to be single large items that cannot easily be turned over or re-fixtured: a welded machine base, a mould frame, a section of a ship engine block. Finishing such a part on five faces in one clamping removes the alignment errors that come from re-setting it, and that is the argument for a five-face machine over a three-axis one.
Hartford combines an automated switching head compartment with a vertical and horizontal tool change system, so a tool can be changed in the vertical spindle or in a mounted angular head without manual work. An automatic universal angular head is shown for the model.
The HSA-636EA has the same table with 3,600 mm (141.7 in) of Y travel. Both x36 machines get Y-axis ballscrew support as standard, and X support is standard above 5 meters. Spindle: #50, gear head at 6,000 rpm or optionally 8,000 rpm, hybrid at 10,000 rpm. Z travel: 1,000 mm, optionally 1,200 mm.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 4,400 mm (173.2 in) of Y travel above a 6,000 x 3,000 mm table
- Tool change in both vertical and horizontal spindle positions
- 24,000 kg (52,910 lb) table load
- X and Y ballscrew support standard
Limitations
- 24,000 kg is only slightly more than the narrower HSA-628EAY's 23,000 kg (50,705 lb)
- Z travel of 1,000 mm, or 1,200 mm, is short for very tall weldments
- Fastest listed spindle is the 10,000 rpm hybrid
