QUEST Series
The Hardinge® Quest®-Series turning center machines are designed for the quick changeovers you need to dramatically reduce setup and cycle times. QUEST-series machines include our patented, interchangeable top plates that you can pre-tool for a particular job or range of jobs and a world-renowned, quick-change collet-ready spindle. An excellent complement to a Swiss machining operation, QUEST-series is used on thousands of machine installations worldwide and offers enhanced automation capability and automated robotic parts handling capabilities for an outstanding value.
Some of the enhancements to this next generation machine include 4X faster index time, 172% more X-axis Travel, 18% faster X-axis traverse rate, 57% faster Z-axis traverse rate, more rigidity with FANUC servo turret index motor and 30% less floor space.
