How much does the Hartford HSA-836 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Hartford HSA-836 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-836 is the largest HSA double-column machining center: an 8,000 x 3,000 mm (315.0 x 118.1 in) table rated for 30,000 kg (66,138 lb), with 8,000 mm (315.0 in) of X travel and 3,600 mm (141.7 in) of Y.
Thirty tonnes is the highest table load Hartford publishes for a moving-table machine, a figure it shares with the MW-843. The two machines suit different work. The MW-843 has a moving cross-beam and automatic heads for five-face machining of tall parts. The HSA-836 has a fixed beam, which is simpler and stiffer over a fixed height range, and it adds a 12,000 rpm built-in spindle that the MW-843 does not list.
For flat, heavy parts the fixed beam is the better tool: large die sets, base plates, platens and frames that need accurate faces and hole patterns over many square metres. Both ballscrews are supported as standard on this model, and the table rides on three linear guideways.
The spindle is #50 with a gear head at 6,000 / 8,000 rpm, a DDS unit at 10,000 / 12,000 rpm or the built-in unit. Motors: 15 / 18.5 kW, optionally 18.5 / 22 kW, 22 / 26 kW or 30 /37 kW. Z travel is 780 mm, or 1,000 mm or 1,200 mm. The magazine holds 32 tools, or 40 or 60.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The HSA-836. Its table is 8,000 x 3,000 mm (315.0 x 118.1 in), its travels are 8,000 mm (315.0 in) in X and 3,600 mm (141.7 in) in Y, and its table load is 30,000 kg (66,138 lb).
02
780 mm as listed, with 1,000 mm and 1,200 mm as options. The cross-beam is fixed, so the Z stroke sets the range of part heights.
03
Both carry 30,000 kg (66,138 lb) on an 8,000 x 3,000 mm (315.0 x 118.1 in) table. The MW-843 has a moving cross-beam, 4,300 mm (169.3 in) of Y and automatic angular heads. The HSA-836 has a fixed beam and 3,600 mm (141.7 in) of Y.
04
15 / 18.5 kW as the base rating and 18.5 / 22 kW, 22 / 26 kW or 30 /37 kW as options, continuous / 30 min, on a #50 spindle.
