Creep feed grinding machine
max. 10000 rpm | FGC 2 Hardinge Workholding

The Bridgeport FGC 2 machine is in a creep-feed class all by itself to achieve higher levels of productivity and profitability not attainable with conventional creep-feed machines. And because we built the FGC 2 with many of the performance features of a vertical machining center, many primary machining operations are eliminated by not having to process the parts on a VMC before the creep-feed process. Simply put--a "done-in-one" platform philosophy only from Bridgeport! The similarity between running a FGC 2 machine and a VMC makes the FGC a great addition to a shop with experienced machining center operators. Cross use of their machining knowledge can be now applied to the creep-feed grinding process, further adding profitability to your bottom line.

The FGC 2 has set a new standard in productivity and process reliability for machining high-temperature super alloys--Inconel, Nimonic, Udimet, Waspalloy and stainless steels--plus pre-hardened tool steels. This high-performance 5-axis machine is specified and used extensively by the world's leading aircraft and power unit manufacturers, tier-one suppliers to the aero-engine industry, as well as industrial turbine and compressor blade and vane manufacturers.
