2011 Hardinge GX1000 OSP CNC Vertical Mill

The 2011 Hardinge GX1000 OSP CNC Vertical Mill is a compact powerhouse built for precision and production. Outfitted with a 44.16 inch by 21.25 inch table, this machine offers 40.16 inch X-axis, 21.25 inch Y-axis, and 21.25 inch Z-axis travels. Its 10000 RPM spindle with CAT 40 taper is backed by a swing-arm automatic tool changer that houses 30 tools, enabling efficient tool swaps and minimising downtime. The machine is designed for modern operations, featuring rapid traverse rates of 1417 IPM on all axes and a substantial table load capacity of 1760 pounds.

Compared to earlier Hardinge vertical mills, the GX1000 OSP brings enhanced speed, rigidity, and automation readiness. Machines like the GX600 or legacy Bridgeport-type mills do not match the spindle performance, probing integration, and faster rapids of this model, making it a step up in capability for job shops scaling into midsize vertical machining centres.
