It boasts the latest FANUC Plus control system with a high-resolution 15" touch screen and features the Intelligent Human Machine Interface (iHMI) which is designed to increase ease-of-use, improve operational efficiency and bring more control to the shop floor. Some of the standard features of the Bridgeport XR1000 include 12K Air Oil direct drive spindle, Big Plus CAT 40, 12,000-rpm spindle speed, CT40 or BT40 taper spindles, Big-Plus face taper spindle, a high-retention draw bar, rigid tapping and thermal compensation.
Benefits of the redesigned XR1000 include shorter lead times, improved user experience levels and a greater ability for full turnkey offerings for Hardinge’s customers.
