12-Station Vertical Top Plate

Standard 12-station vertical block top plate

Minimal tool interference

Bidirectional turret indexing allows shortest path indexing for reduced non-cut time. The non-lift turret indexing ensures con-
taminant-free operation—indexing is by a brushless servomotor with positive hydraulic clamping on a 3-piece curvic coupling.
The turret pivot (safety shear) feature helps prevent damage to the machine. Coolant is fed through round shank tool holders
via turret ports, allowing coolant to be precisely directed to the machining operation. Live tooling is not available.

Rigid tapping
Synchronization between the main spindle and the Z-axis motion provides precise and fast rigid tapping operations.

 VDI Top Plate

Optional VDI top plate

VDI top plate live tooling option

Bidirectional indexing of the 12-station VDI-30 turret top plate (VDI-40 on GS 200/66 and GS
250 models) allows shortest path indexing for reduced non-cut time. Easier processing of part
families and fewer setups are realized due to the fact there are a large number of tool stations.
Fast setup times are possible by using quick-change VDI tool holders. The non-lift turret index-
ing ensures contaminant-free operation—indexing is by a brushless servomotor with positive
hydraulic clamping on a 3-piece curvic coupling. The turret pivot (safety shear) feature helps
prevent damage to the machine. Coolant is fed through tool holders via turret ports. This allows
the operator to direct coolant precisely to the machining operation, providing enhanced cutting
and chip management. Live tooling is available as an option. Rigid tapping is included.

Standard Features

GS MSY Series Performance Multi-Tasking Turning Centers

Standard features that provide enhanced machining capabilities,
longer machine life and ease of use

Extra-stable, heavy machine base

Our 30-degree one-piece, high-quality cast iron base features an impressive weight for
heavy cutting, precision tolerances and fine surface finishes—2,450 kilograms (5,390
pounds). The robust base is strategically ribbed, providing superior rigidity and
durability.

Heavy-duty linear guideways and ballscrews

All ball screws, linear guideways and guide trucks feature a large
load rating with minimal friction, resulting in low heat and thermal
growth, longer machine life, maximum static and dynamic stiffness,
and overall machining consistency. The double-nut hardened &
ground ball screws are laser calibrated and supported by heavy-
duty ball screw supports. Fast traverse rates of 30m/min (1,181ipm)
provide reduced cycle times. Linear guideways are “greased for
life.”

Grease lubrication system

Grease lubrication is provided for all ballscrews. Grease lubrication
provides several advantages over way lube oil systems—
- No oil skimmer required
- No degradation of water-base coolants
- Environmentally friendly—no need to
dispose of contaminated oil
- Improves machine maintenance

Tailstock
The Hardinge Servo Tailstock provides operator convenience, faster
cycle times, precise positioning, reduced set-up times and supe-
rior part to part accuracies due to constistant repeatable applied
force compared to hydraulic tailstock systems. Our servo tailstock
features fully programmable axis speed control through the part
program allowing fast approach/retract speed and provides precise
part engagement and applied force. The result is reduced overall
operating time when compared to hydraulic tailstock systems by
over 20% while increasing part quality.

16
 Spindles

Powerful dual-wound, wraparound main spindle and motor

Main spindle
The AC digital wraparound spindle
drive and motor are more accurate
and responsive than analog spindle
drives and motors. The motor is also
more reliable and requires minimal
maintenance, since it is liquid cooled,
brushless, and permanently sealed
and lubricated. The motor is dual
wound, offering high torque at a low
base speed. The motor automatically
shifts to the second winding when
speed requires it. Exact synchroniza-
tion at any speed (within the main Model Power Torque† Base Speed Max. Speed

GS 250 MSY machines. Hardinge offers

Standard Features

GS MSY Series Performance Multi-Tasking Turning Centers

BMT-65 turret top plate and tooling system to enhance
your throughput capability
BMT top plate
Bidirectional indexing of the 12-station BMT-65 turret top plate allows shortest path
indexing for reduced non-cut time. Easier processing of part families and fewer set-
ups are realized due to the fact there are a large number of tool stations. Coolant is
fed through tool holders via turret ports. This allows the operator to direct coolant
precisely to the machining operation, providing enhanced cutting and chip manage-
ment. The non-lift turret indexing ensures contaminant-free operation—indexing is by
a brushless servomotor with positive hydraulic clamping on a 3-piece curvic coupling.
The turret pivot (safety shear) feature helps prevent damage to the machine.
Output (Power/Torque)
Live Tool Output (Power/Torque)

Rigid tapping—standard
Synchronization between the main
spindle and the Z-axis motion provides
precise and fast rigid tapping operations.

Cross-working operation
Live Tooling—standard
The 4,000-rpm live tooling feature eliminates the need for many secondary milling ma-
chine operations, reducing additional part handling and setup cost. All stations of the
top plate are live-tool ready with only one station actively driven at one time. Separate
servomotors are used for turret indexing and live tool operations. A disc-type hydrau-
lic spindle brake provides positive locking during static machining operations.

End-working operation

Minimal VDI (optional) tool interference Work envelope

The illustration represents the maximum part diameters that can clear adjacent tool holders. A balanced
weight distribution of tooling on the top plate is recommended.
18
 Sub Spindle

Powerful wraparound sub spindle and motor

Sub spindle—standard
The sub spindle features a wraparound design that is liquid
cooled for thermal stability; it is brushless, permanently sealed
and lubricated. The sub and main spindles can be synchronized
at any speed (within the main spindle range) for accurate part
transfers. C-axis, threading and rigid tapping are included. A
laser-type part present detector, part ejector, chip flush and
air blast are also included.

C-Axis contouring—standard
C-axis provides positioning in increments of .001 degree.
Three-dimensional contouring, complex round and prismatic
machining, square shoulder and lettering are accomplished by
synchronizing the spindle with the X and Z axes. Rigid tapping
Model Power Torque Base Speed Max. Speed

Spindle synchronization—standard
M-62—M-63 code programming easily allows the program-
mer to synchronize the sub spindle with the main spindle for
simultaneous machining with both spindles.

3-Jaw Chuck—standard
