How much does the Hartford HSA-828 cost?

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Hartford HSA-828 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.

Hartford HSA-828 — price

Price estimate: uncertain

We have no price for the Hartford HSA-828 that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so this page shows no number rather than a guess. A quote from Hartford or an authorised dealer is the reliable figure.

What moves the final price

  • Spindle, control and probing options
  • Tool changer capacity and tooling package
  • Automation — pallet changers, bar feeders, robot cells
  • Freight, rigging, installation and training
  • Region, dealer and time of year

Overview

The Hartford HSA-828 is the narrowest of three eight-metre HSA double-column machining centers. X travel is 8,000 mm (315.0 in), Y travel 2,800 mm (110.2 in), and the 8,000 x 2,500 mm (315.0 x 98.4 in) table is rated for 27,000 kg (59,524 lb).

Eight metres is the longest table Hartford lists on a moving-table bridge machine. Beyond it the range switches to moving-column designs with a fixed floor table. The HSA-828 therefore serves the longest parts that can still travel under a fixed bridge: crane girders, machine tool beds, long press frames, turbine and generator base frames.

Hartford's table for this model matches the HSA-728 in every row except length and load. Three linear guideways on X, a #50 spindle in gear (6,000 / 8,000 rpm), DDS (10,000 / 12,000 rpm) or built-in (12,000 rpm) form, and motors of 15 / 18.5 kW with options up to 30 /37 kW.

Z travel is 780 mm, with 1,000 mm and 1,200 mm as options. The magazine is an arm type with 32 tools, or 40 or 60, and the shanks are BT-50. Hartford states self-made spindles with deflection within 5μm and direct-drive servo motors on the three linear axes.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • 8,000 mm (315.0 in) of X travel on a moving-table bridge machine
  • 27,000 kg (59,524 lb) table load
  • Three X-axis linear guideways and supported X ballscrew
  • Three #50 spindle drives: gear, DDS and built-in
  • Self-made spindle with deflection within 5μm, per Hartford

Limitations

  • Y travel of 2,800 mm (110.2 in) is narrow for an eight-metre machine
  • Z travel of 780 mm as standard
  • Y-axis ballscrew support is optional on x28 models
  • A moving eight-metre table needs a very long installation area

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the travels of the Hartford HSA-828?

X 8,000 mm (315.0 in), Y 2,800 mm (110.2 in), Z 780 mm with 1,000 mm or 1,200 mm optional. The table is 8,000 x 2,500 mm (315.0 x 98.4 in).

02 What is the table load of the HSA-828?

27,000 kg (59,524 lb) as an average load, the same figure Hartford gives for the HSA-832. The wider HSA-836 is rated for 30,000 kg (66,138 lb).

03 What spindle options are listed for the HSA-828?

A #50 gear head at 6,000 / 8,000 rpm, a DDS spindle at 10,000 / 12,000 rpm and a built-in spindle at 12,000 rpm. The motor is 15 / 18.5 kW with options up to 30 /37 kW.

04 Is there a wider eight-metre HSA?

Two. The HSA-832 has 3,200 mm (126.0 in) of Y travel on the same 2,500 mm wide table, and the HSA-836 has 3,600 mm (141.7 in) of Y on an 8,000 x 3,000 mm (315.0 x 118.1 in) table.
