Hartford TGV-106

Q: How much does the Hartford TGV-106 cost?

The price estimate for the Hartford TGV-106 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-tgv-106#price; the request is passed to Hartford or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Hartford TGV-106 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 TGV-106 is a high-speed machining center with a fixed-column, wall-type structure: the table moves in one axis only and the head travels on a crossbeam. Travels are 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in X, 600 mm (23.6 in) in Y and 510 mm (20.1 in) in Z, on a #40 spindle.

The layout matters for mould work. Hartford describes a one-piece column and crossbeam, a wall type casting with a column supporter, on a one-piece base. Because the saddle does not stack on a moving table, the 1,150 x 600 mm (45.3 x 23.6 in) table can take 1,000 kg (2,205 lb), more than the 700 kg (1,543 lb) of the similarly sized MVP-10.

Spindle choices are a DDS unit at 12,000 / 15,000 rpm or a built-in motor spindle at 15,000 / 24,000 rpm. The 24,000 rpm built-in spindle is offered with a cooling shaft as an option, and Hartford describes a heat-symmetric design with oil-air lubrication. Motor power is given as 15 / 18.5 (40 % ED), optionally 18.5 / 21.5 (S6 - 60 %) kW, which is a strong rating for a 40-taper finishing machine.

Thermal control is the other theme of the TGV pages. Thermal growth control on the three axes is an option: motor bases, ballscrews, bearings and nuts carry cooling tunnels. Tooling is BT40, with BBT, CAT, DIN and HSK A63 as alternatives, in a 24-tool magazine or a 30-tool one.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Built-in spindle option at 15,000 / 24,000 rpm, with a shaft-cooled 24,000 rpm version listed as an option
Spindle motor of 15 / 18.5 (40 % ED), optionally 18.5 / 21.5 (S6 - 60 %) kW
One-piece column and crossbeam in a wall-type casting on a one-piece base
Table load of 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) on a 1,150 x 600 mm (45.3 x 23.6 in) table
Optional thermal growth control with cooling tunnels in the 3-axis feed system

Limitations

Z travel is 510 mm (20.1 in), the shortest of the TGV machines
No pulley or gear spindle is listed; the lowest top speed offered is 12,000 rpm
Shaft cooling and 3-axis thermal growth control are options, not base equipment
The magazine is limited to 24 or 30 tools; the TGV-128 can take 40

Best For

Mould and die finishing with small tools at up to 24,000 rpm Graphite and copper electrodes Precision plates and inserts up to 1,000 mm (39.4 in) long Long finishing programs where thermal stability decides the result

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What kind of machine is the Hartford TGV-106?

Hartford lists it as a high speed machining center. It has a one-piece column and crossbeam in a wall-type casting, a #40 spindle and travels of 1,000 mm (39.4 in), 600 mm (23.6 in) and 510 mm (20.1 in) in X, Y and Z.

02 Which spindles are available on the TGV-106?

A DDS direct-drive spindle at 12,000 / 15,000 rpm and a built-in spindle at 15,000 / 24,000 rpm. Hartford offers a cooling shaft for the 24,000 rpm built-in spindle as an option. The motor row reads 15 / 18.5 (40 % ED) opt. 18.5 / 21.5 (S6 - 60 %) kW.

03 How does the TGV-106 control heat?

The spindle is oil-air lubricated and built to a heat-symmetric design. As an option, Hartford offers thermal growth control on three axes, with cooling tunnels in the motor base, ballscrews, bearings and nuts; the maker says this raises axis accuracy by 15%. It also states that casting thermal growth can be reduced by 13%.

04 What is the next larger TGV model?

The TGV-128, with 1,200 mm (47.2 in) of X, 800 mm (31.5 in) of Y and 700 mm (27.6 in) of Z. The TGV-128 table is 1,300 x 850 mm (51.2 x 33.5 in) and carries 2,500 kg (5,511 lb), and the TGV-128 magazine is listed as A: 24 (30 / 40).
