One of the widest ranges of metal cutting machine tools, available from any single company, was represented at a 2005 UK Open House by Hardinge-Bridgeport.
One of the widest ranges of metal cutting machine tools, available from any single company in the world and now completely integrated under the banner of Hardinge-Bridgeport, was represented at an Open House staged at the company's new GBP 750,000 Global Headquarters for Milling in Leicester during May 2005.
Visitors saw under power the latest advances in milling and turning technologies and viewed the changes to the machine tool operations made in just six months following the acquisition of Bridgeport's intellectual property rights by Hardinge, and the sales and support service division by Hardinge Machine Tools of Exeter.
Making their UK debut were two of Hardinge-Bridgeport's newly designed vertical machining centres from the XP3 range, along with the company's latest Heidenhain controlled VMC 600P vertical machining centre and the entry level Siemens controlled Interact 450.
These advanced machines were supported by an HMC 700 four-axis horizontal travelling column machining centre, a Hardinge Elite 8/51, quick-change bar and chucking slant bed CNC lathe with sub-spindle, a Hardinge Talent slant bed three-axis lathe and a Hardinge VL5 vertical spindle CNC lathe.
Key to the Hardinge-Bridgeport demonstrations at the 40,000ft2 facility was the support of leading measurement equipment, control specialists and CADCAM suppliers Renishaw, Heidenhain and Delcam along with high productivity cutting tools from Seco Tools and Mitsubishi Carbide.
