LEADWELL LT-25(M) HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Leadwell LT-25(M) is a horizontal CNC turning center engineered for precision small-to-medium part production. Featuring a maximum turning diameter of 17.7 inches and machining length of 25.2 inches, the machine accommodates bar stock up to 3 inches in diameter with a 10-inch chuck. The single main spindle delivers 3,500 RPM maximum speed with 24.8 HP, providing consistent cutting power for various materials. The 26.3-inch swing clearance enables efficient workpiece handling and tool access. The 12-station turret system supports multiple cutting tool configurations, with optional rotary tooling delivering 7.3 HP for live-tool operations. The machine offers 2-axis standard configuration with optional 3-axis capability, providing flexibility for complex machining requirements. Rapid traverse rates reach 787 ipm across X, Y, and Z axes, enabling swift positioning between cuts and reducing cycle times. The X-axis travel of 9.8 inches and Z-axis travel of 25.2 inches accommodate diverse part geometries. Controlled by Fanuc CNC technology, the LT-25(M) achieves repeatability of ±0.0002 inches, ensuring tight tolerances critical for precision applications. The compact footprint and robust construction make it suitable for job shops, production facilities, and contract manufacturers requiring reliable automated turning capabilities with versatile tooling options.
