Precision Lathes & Grinders

Used Hardinge GS 200: Sell or Buy at Auction

Hardinge is an American precision machine tool manufacturer specializing in high-accuracy lathes, grinding machines, and workholding systems. Known for superior precision and the Hardinge Super-Precision® lathe line, Hardinge machines are common in aerospace, defense, and medical device manufacturing.

The Hardinge GS 200 is an 8-inch chuck CNC turning center from Hardinge's GS Series, the company's rigid, value-oriented production turning line, not a grinder and not one of its collet-based Super-Precision lathes. It is built on a one-piece cast iron base with linear guideways and ballscrews, an A2-6 spindle nose carrying a 3-jaw power chuck, a programmable tailstock, and a 12-station turret, and it typically ships with a Fanuc control, though some machines were delivered with Siemens. With roughly 11 inches of maximum turning diameter, about 16 inches of turning length, and around 2 inches of bar capacity, the GS 200 handles both chucked and bar work, and MSY-configured machines add live tooling, a Y-axis, and a sub-spindle for done-in-one turned and milled parts. Buyers for this exact machine tend to be job shops and production turning shops that want Hardinge rigidity and accuracy in the mid-size 8-inch class without stepping up to a larger turning cell, and KD Auctions moves that class of equipment through its network of 500,000+ industry contacts, including precision machining and production turning shops actively watching for turning centers in this size class. At auction, a well-maintained GS 200 with a healthy spindle, tight repeatability, and a fully functional turret, tailstock, and control typically draws fast, competitive bidding, since ready-to-run 8-inch turning centers in this class stay in steady demand.</parameter> </invoke>
