How much does the Hartford MCW-14650 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Hartford MCW-14650 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 MCW-14650 moves its columns 14,000 mm (551.2 in) along a fixed 14,000 x 5,000 mm (551.2 x 196.9 in) table, with 6,500 mm (255.9 in) of Y travel on the cross-beam.
Height is where this machine has reserves. The ram has 1,000 mm of Z travel as standard and can be ordered with 1,200 or 1,400 mm. Above that, the whole cross-beam travels on the W axis: 1,800 mm, or 2,100 mm as an option. A buyer who takes both maximum options has a machine for parts well over two metres tall, such as press uprights machined standing, large gearbox housings and welded towers.
The Z axis itself uses four linear guideways in what Hartford calls a three binding structure, a patented arrangement in which two-way support is stated to provide 20% rigidity while cutting. A nitrogen accumulator balances the ram; Hartford says it reduces hydraulic tank oil temperature by 50% and saves more than 20% energy.
Table load is 3,000 kg/m². The #50 spindle is a gear head for 6,000 or 8,000 rpm or a 10,000 rpm hybrid, and the magazine holds 40 tools or 62.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Hartford's table gives travels, not a clearance figure. Z travel is 1,000 mm, or 1,200 or 1,400 mm, and the cross-beam travels 1,800 mm or 2,100 mm on the W axis. Ask Hartford for the distance from table to spindle nose with the chosen options.
02
A nitrogen accumulator weight system. Hartford states it reduces hydraulic tank oil temperature by 50% and saves more than 20% energy. The axis runs on four linear guideways.
03
14,000 x 5,000 mm (551.2 x 196.9 in). It is a fixed table rated at 3,000 kg/m², under 14,000 mm of X travel and 6,500 mm (255.9 in) of Y travel.
04
Yes. The MCW-14550 has a 14,000 x 4,000 mm (551.2 x 157.5 in) table and 5,500 mm (216.5 in) of Y travel, with the same Z and W travels and spindle options.
