The Hardinge Group showcases its GS 51A horizontal turning center, a compact high-productivity lathe that is equipped with integrated automation. The machine features a collet-ready spindle that delivers exacting part roundness and tight tolerances on each workpiece, the company says. A prototype version of the RS T-42 turning center is also displayed so attendees can provide feedback that the company will use to improve the machine before the official introduction in the first quarter of 2010.
