The rigid machine has been designed specifically for accurate, heavy duty cutting – a trait underpinned by Hartford’s construction principles that include the use of heavily ribbed Meehanite cast iron for all major components and a single-piece T-shaped bed (for the X and Z axes), plus the use of linear guideways.
The 800 by 800 mm pallet accommodating loads of 1,500 kg, with indexing in 90° achieved in 2.2 seconds, while pallet location accuracy is guaranteed via positioning on to four cones via air blast and hydraulic drawbar.
