LEADERWAY V42I VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Leaderway V42i is a compact vertical machining center designed for small parts and mold production in job shop environments. This three-axis CNC machine features a standard 10,000 RPM spindle with #40 taper configuration, ideal for both finishing work and precision machining applications. The machine provides substantial work envelope with X-axis travel of 42 inches (1,066 mm), Y-axis travel of 20 inches (510 mm), and Z-axis travel of 19.7 inches (500 mm), accommodating diverse workpiece geometries. The work table measures 47.2 x 20.3 inches with a maximum load capacity of 400 kg, supported by T-slot configuration for flexible workholding. The 16-position automatic tool changer enables rapid tool changes, with maximum tool weight capacity of 7 kg and tool diameter capability up to 125 mm. Equipped with Fanuc 0i-MD CNC control, the machine offers advanced programming capabilities and reliable automation. Standard features include rigid tapping, automatic lubrication, enclosed splash guard, and full machine enclosure for operator safety. The machine delivers 14.75 hp spindle motor power with rapid traverse rates of 30 m/min on X and Y axes and 20 m/min on Z-axis, supporting feed rates from 1-10 m/min. Weighing approximately 4,600 kg, the V42i combines rigid construction with compact design, making it suitable for precision work in aerospace, automotive, and mold manufacturing industries.
