Hardinge HLV-H-CNC retrofit
Or our new model: TML-5Cnc
Imagine a Hardinge HLV-H toolroom lathe with CNC capability. Also imagine if this lathe could be operated in manual mode with the original hand wheels and features that make a Hardinge HLV one of the best precision lathes ever made.
Babin Machine Tool has engineered such a system complete with USA made Centroid CNC control, precision ball screws & servo motor brackets, and manual electronic hand wheels with smooth movement that comes very close to original mechanical movements and feel.
This is the ideal lathe for precision prototype and modeling work.
Features include:
Super smooth & quiet direct drive spindle with programmable speed
15 color LCD display with graphics
Conversational and G-code programming
Simple and easy tool setups
.0001 resolution and repeatability
Auto lube for ways and ball screws and much more!
Join the growing list of nationwide machine shops and high tech manufacturing companies that are enjoying the benefits of a precision Hardinge lathe with CNC and manual capabilities.
Babin Machine Tool also offers our new CNC toolroom lathe, model: TML-5Cnc precision engineered and built with the same care and quality as we put into our remanufactured HLV-H lathes.
Paul,
She looks great. The appearance is stunning, the riggers, the machinists, the boss all commented on how good she looks. People like the Babin pinstriping.
Thanks so much for our new Hardinge HLV-H-CNC retrofitted with the Centroid control. From day one we began cutting very tight tolerances on parts with the machine and it handled it without any problems. It is very nice to have a machine with great repeatability on close work. We were also very surprised at how easy it is to program the machine with so little effort and training. Great to have a machine that we can use as a manual lathe when just doing a simple and easy cut or just drilling a hole. Surprisingly, for a CNC, it feels like you are just as at home running it as you are on a regular Hardinge lathe. The machine is also very nice, from the looks of the machine to the fits and craftsmanship, it looks and works like it was a well thought out machine. I hope this machine lasts us a long time because we really enjoy it making our lives easier on some complicated parts. Thanks so much for a great lathe and I hope to do more business with you and your team in the future.
