Fully Digital Vertical Machining Center



Hardinge Inc. has announced the release of the all-new Bridgeport Conquest V480 APC E Series vertical machining center (VMC) with Mitsubishi M70 CNC. "This is a fully digital, high-quality machine tool designed to achieve maximum capacity and performance in the job shop, OEM, aerospace, automotive and power generation industries and other manufacturing sectors," said a company spokesperson.

The Bridgeport CONQUEST V480 APC E Series is manufactured from quality sourced gray cast iron. This fully digital machine features a rapid traverse rate of 1,417 IPM X, Y and Z and acceleration rates of X: 6 m/sec2., Y: 4.6 m/sec2., Z: 3.75m/sec2. This machine features a Mitsubishi M70 control with a 10.4" LCD.

Axis travels are:

  • X: 18.9" (480 mm)
  • Y: 15.8" (400 mm)
  • Z: 16.9" (430 mm)

Options include 12,000 and 15,000 RPM spindles, through spindle coolant 280 PSI, air blast, fourth and fifth axis prewiring, spindle chiller and chip conveyor.

The CONQUEST V480 APC E Series features many improvements over the previous GX 480 APC. These include:

  • Improved sheet metal design that provides improved coolant containment and easier chip removal
  • The operator panel moved to the side of the machine for easier set-up
  • An improved automatic tool changer (ATC) with faster tool change times and auto ATC recovery function
  • The automatic pallet changer (APC) has been redesigned to allow for heavier loads. The previous model could accommodate 254 lbs. (120 kg). The new machine features a 440 lbs. (200 kg) capacity. Also, the APC provides a 4,850 (2,200 kg) pallet clamping force as compared to the previous 330 G lbs. (1,500 kg).
