Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Hartford MVP-16 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

Largest of the MVP family, the Hartford MVP-16 has 1,600 mm (63.0 in) of X travel, 820 mm (32.3 in) of Y and a 1,750 x 820 mm (68.9 x 32.3 in) table that carries 2,000 kg (4,409 lb). It is offered with a #40 or a #50 spindle.

The Z axis is where this model departs from its siblings. Hartford's Z travel row reads 700 (linear guideway) / 660 opt 820 (box guideway) mm. In other words the buyer chooses the Z construction: a linear guideway with 700 mm of stroke, or a box guideway with 660 mm, extendable to 820 mm. A box-way Z under a #50 gear spindle suits heavy roughing; the linear version suits speed.

For #50 the spindles are a gear type at 6,000 / 8,000 rpm and a DDS type at 10,000 / 12,000 rpm. The motor row for #50 prints 11 / 15 with options of 15 / 18.5, 18.5 / 22 and 22 / 26, without a unit. For #40 the pulley spindle runs 8,000 / 10,000 / 12,000 rpm and the DDS spindle 10,000 / 12,000 / 15,000 / 20,000 rpm, driven by 7.5 / 11 kW or optionally 11 / 15 kW or 15 / 18.5 kW (Cont. / 30 min).

Tooling is BT40, with HSK A63 among the alternatives, or BT50. The arm-type magazine holds 24 tools, with 30 and 40 listed in brackets. Stated accuracy under MGPS is positioning within 8μm and repeatability within 5μm.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Z axis available with a linear guideway (700 mm) or a box guideway (660 mm, optionally 820 mm)
#50 gear spindle at 6,000 / 8,000 rpm or #50 DDS spindle at 10,000 / 12,000 rpm
Table of 1,750 x 820 mm (68.9 x 32.3 in) with a 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) load rating
Y travel of 820 mm (32.3 in), the largest in the MVP series
Magazine of 24 tools with 30 or 40 as listed alternatives

Limitations

The box-guideway Z has less standard stroke (660 mm) than the linear-guideway Z (700 mm)
The #50 motor ratings are printed without a unit on the maker's page
X and Y run on linear guideways only; Hartford's all-box-way machine of similar size is the HCMC-1682
No rapid traverse rates or tool size limits are published

Best For

Large mould and die work that needs both roughing torque and finishing speed Plates and frames up to 1,600 mm (63.0 in) long and 820 mm (32.3 in) deep Buyers who want a box-way Z axis on a linear-guide machine Workpieces up to 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) with fixtures

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What Z travel does the Hartford MVP-16 have?

It depends on the Z-axis construction. The table reads 700 (linear guideway) / 660 opt 820 (box guideway) mm: 700 mm with a linear guideway, or 660 mm with a box guideway and 820 mm as its option. X travel is 1,600 mm (63.0 in) and Y travel is 820 mm (32.3 in).

02 Is the MVP-16 a 40-taper or a 50-taper machine?

Either. The spindle rows list #40 and #50, and the tool shank row reads BT40 (BBT / CAT / DIN / HSK A63) or BT50 (BBT / CAT / DIN). The #50 spindles are a gear type at 6,000 / 8,000 rpm and a DDS type at 10,000 / 12,000 rpm.

03 What spindle motors are listed for the MVP-16?

For #40: 7.5 / 11 kW with 11 / 15 kW and 15 / 18.5 kW as options, as continuous / 30 min ratings. For #50 the page prints 11 / 15 with options of 15 / 18.5, 18.5 / 22 and 22 / 26, and leaves the unit column empty.

04 When is the HCMC-1682 a better choice than the MVP-16?

When all three axes should be box ways. The HCMC-1682 is a box-guideway machine with the same 1,600 mm (63.0 in) X and 820 mm (32.3 in) Y travel, a #50 gear spindle at 4,000 / 6,000 / 8,000 rpm and a 2,200 kg (4,850 lb) table load. The MVP-16 is the faster, linear-guide alternative.
