Hardinge announces the expansion of its Swiss-style collets and bushings production cell. Over the past several years, CNC Swiss-type lathes, predominant in medical and electronics applications, have become increasingly popular across a variety of other applications.
Hardinge Workholding has announced two additional Swiss families as a standard product. Available for immediate sale are collets and guide bushings to support Nomura's line of Swiss-style turning machines, as well as six popular long bearing carbide guide bushings.
Hardinge provides gripping solutions for machining small-diameter parts for medical component manufacturing. One category of products includes Swiss-type headstock collets, pickoff collets, carbide guide bushings, bar loader collets and custom manufactured solutions for Swiss turning.
Hardinge Inc. supports European-style, multi-spindle machine owners in North America.
What tooling does a multi-spindle automatic, a CNC lathe and a vertical machining center have in common? The answer is S-pads.
Expanding collets and between center arbors (mandrels) grip the internal diameter of a part for turning, milling, grinding, assembly, inspection and automation applications.

If you've been using fixtures to grip parts on your rotary device, you already know how much operator intervention is required for setting up, clamping and locating the part, and changing from one job to another. And let's not forget about the design time and machining involved to produce the fixture itself. All of this accumulated…
A high quality collet is desirable when it comes to precision machining of small parts for the medical and aerospace industries. For a quality part that meets high-precision specifications, you need a burr-free collet with guaranteed concentricity. This collet would be finish ground to provide a smooth and concentric gripping area (order hole) for…
"Back in 2008, Hardinge introduced a low-profile rotary table as a standard, no-frills unit to compete against other 210mm tables on the market," states Al Comstock, Rotary Product Manager at Hardinge Inc.

You've probably heard the term "vulcanized collet" and may have wondered what it means exactly. Vulcanization was named after the Roman God of Fire, Vulcan, and, yes, the injection molding process at Hardinge does involve heat.
The DD100 high-speed, direct-drive Super-Precision Rotary Table manufactured by Hardinge Inc. is a high-speed parts positioner with +/1 3 arc-sec accuracy and 4 arc-sec repeatability.
It may have a small footprint, but the Hardinge Inc., Workholding Division, GD5C2 rotary indexer packs a big punch.
