2011 Hardinge Bridgeport GX-1000OSP CNC Vertical Mill

The 2011 Hardinge Bridgeport GX-1000OSP is a robust CNC vertical machining center built for sustained production. Its 44" × 21.25" table supports up to 1,760 lbs. of workpiece weight, while the 40.16" × 21.25" × 21.25" X/Y/Z travels give it a work envelope that handles most medium-to-large part sizes. The 20 HP spindle reaches 12,000 RPM through a CAT 40 taper, and paired with a 30-tool side mount ATC and 1,417 IPM rapid traverse rates, cycle efficiency is built into every axis. The Okuma OSP-P200MA-R control provides the conversational programming depth and reliability that Okuma users already trust. Compared to the earlier Bridgeport VMC 1000/30 — which ran a Fanuc 21i-M at 8,000 RPM with a 945 IPM rapid traverse — the GX-1000OSP represents a substantial step forward. The jump to 12,000 RPM opens the door for faster aluminum and light alloy work, while the Okuma OSP-P200MA-R replaces Fanuc architecture with Okuma's conversational environment, reducing setup time and expanding programming options without adding complexity. Rapid traverse improving from 945 to 1,417 IPM also means less non-cutting time per part.
