L&L MACHINERY LFM-1400 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The L&L Machinery LFM-1400 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-precision CNC lathe designed for machining large and heavy workpieces, supporting a maximum turning diameter of 35.4 inches and a turning length of up to 118 inches. It features a single main spindle with a 24-inch chuck diameter, a maximum swing of 55.9 inches, and a bar capacity of 6.5 inches. The spindle operates at up to 400 RPM with a standard 60 HP motor, upgradeable to 100 HP for enhanced power. The machine includes a primary tool carrier configurable as either a 4-way or 8-station turret, capable of housing up to 8 turning tools, though only one simultaneous cutting tool is used. It operates on two axes (X and Z) with travels of 39.4 inches and 118.1 inches respectively, and can optionally extend the Z axis travel to 393.7 inches. Both axes support maximum feed and rapid traverse rates of 197 inches per minute, ensuring efficient material removal and positioning. Robust construction supports heavy cutting, with versatility for large diameter and long workpieces, making it suitable for industries requiring precision turning with substantial size capabilities. Its CNC control (commonly Fanuc or Siemens options) provides precise tool indexing and smooth operation, supporting demanding production environments requiring rigidity and accuracy in horizontal machining applications.
