Hartford MVP-13

Q: How much does the Hartford MVP-13 cost?

The price estimate for the Hartford MVP-13 is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/hartford-mvp-13#price; the request is passed to Hartford or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Hartford MVP-13 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-13 is a linear-guideway vertical machining center with 1,500 mm (59.1 in) of X travel, 700 mm (27.6 in) of Z and a 1,400 x 700 mm (55.1 x 27.6 in) table rated for 1,500 kg (3,307 lb). Hartford's page lists both #40 and #50 spindles for it.

A note on the Y axis first. The maker's table prints a Y travel that cannot be reconciled with the 700 mm deep table, so this page leaves the figure out. On the other MVP models Y travel is close to the table depth; for the MVP-13 the value should be taken from Hartford's quotation.

This is the first MVP size with a gear-driven spindle. In #50 the table lists a gear spindle at 6,000 rpm beside a DDS spindle at 10,000 / 12,000 rpm, which gives the machine a low-speed option for large cutters in steel and cast iron. The #40 spindles are the familiar ones: 8,000 / 10,000 / 12,000 rpm by pulley and 10,000 / 12,000 / 15,000 / 20,000 rpm as DDS. The spindle motor is 7.5 / 11 kW, with 11 / 15 kW and 15 / 18.5 kW as options (Cont. / 30 min).

Seven T-slots run along the table, listed as 18 x 100 (7) mm. The ATC row shows an arm-type changer with 24 tools, or 30. The tool shank row names only BT40 with its alternatives, including HSK A63, even though #50 spindles are listed above it; the BT50 shank therefore needs confirming with Hartford.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the Y travel of the Hartford MVP-13?

It is not stated reliably. Hartford's product page prints a Y travel that exceeds what a 1,400 x 700 mm (55.1 x 27.6 in) table allows, which looks like a typing error, so the figure is omitted here. X travel is 1,500 mm (59.1 in) and Z travel is 700 mm (27.6 in).

02 Which spindles are listed for the MVP-13?

For #40: a pulley spindle at 8,000 / 10,000 / 12,000 rpm and a DDS spindle at 10,000 / 12,000 / 15,000 / 20,000 rpm. For #50: a gear spindle at 6,000 rpm and a DDS spindle at 10,000 / 12,000 rpm.

03 How much weight does the MVP-13 table carry?

The average load rating is 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) on a 1,400 x 700 mm (55.1 x 27.6 in) table with T-slots listed as 18 x 100 (7) mm. The MVP-11, one size down, is rated for 1,000 kg (2,205 lb).

04 How does the MVP-13 differ from the MVP-16?

The MVP-16 is larger, with 1,600 mm (63.0 in) of X, 820 mm (32.3 in) of Y, a 1,750 x 820 mm (68.9 x 32.3 in) table and a 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) load rating. Its #50 gear spindle is listed at 6,000 / 8,000 rpm and it offers a box-guideway Z axis.
