For decades customers have known that when you need to hold the tightest tolerances or have a hard to manufacturer part that Hardinge is the partner you want on your side!

Definition: SUPER-PRECISION is a combination of best practice design and manufacturing of hardware and software integrated into a machine tool that produces the highest level of precision turning centers for production that require the least amount of human intervention in the marketplace today.

Key differentiators that set Hardinge SUPER-PRECISION Turning Centers Apart:

• High degree of machine stiffness qualified by Finite Element Analysis
• High surface finish capability of 6 micro-inch or better*
• High roundness (circularity) capability - TIR of .000015 or better*
• Ball bar testing for superior geometric accuracy
• Dynamic balancing of spindle and drive motor
• Matched and ground spindle belts
• Matched high precision spindle bearings
• Harcrete® reinforced polymer composite base for superior vibration damping, improved tool life and
• Unequaled hard-turning capability
• Real-time thermal monitoring via Hardinge-exclusive algorithms that correct for thermal movement, maintaining .0002” total deviation in diameter from a cold start*
• High repeatability accuracy – 30 millionths (.00003”)*
• Robust control/motor/drive package with 10 millionths (.00001”) control resolution
• Laser inspection for unequaled straightness, positioning, repeatability accuracy
• High accuracy X and Z axes digital glass scales

* May differ depending on machine size and spindle capacity

Hardinge SUPER-PRECISION® machine models are capable of maintaining a total tolerance
of .0002” (.005mm).
