How much does the Hartford MVP-11 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Hartford MVP-11 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 MVP-11 is the smallest MVP vertical machining center that can be built with either a #40 or a #50 spindle. Travels are 1,100 mm (43.3 in) in X, 600 mm (23.6 in) in Y and 630 mm (24.8 in) in Z, and the table is 1,270 x 600 mm (50.0 x 23.6 in) with a 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) average load.
The choice of taper changes the character of the machine. In #40 form the spindle list matches the smaller MVPs: 8,000 / 10,000 / 12,000 rpm by pulley and 10,000 / 12,000 / 15,000 / 20,000 rpm as a DDS unit, with BT40 or HSK A63 tooling and a 24-tool magazine expandable to 30 or 40. In #50 form the only spindle listed is a DDS at 10,000 / 12,000 rpm, the shanks are BT50, BBT, CAT or DIN, and the magazine is 24 tools, or 32.
Motor ratings differ too. The #40 row runs from 5.5 / 7.5 kW to 15 / 18.5 kW (Cont. / 30 min). For #50 the page prints 11 / 15 with 15 / 18.5 as the option, and omits the unit.
A direct-drive #50 spindle at 12,000 rpm on a machine this size is aimed at large-diameter cutters run fast in aluminium and at rigid toolholding in steel finishing, not at low-speed roughing; no gear head is listed for the MVP-11. Buyers who need that should look at the MVP-13, which adds a 6,000 rpm gear spindle in #50.
