LEADWELL LTC-20DM CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features an 8-inch chuck size and a bar capacity of 2.6 inches, suitable for medium-scale turning operations. It operates on a 2-axis system (X and Z axes), allowing precise control over diameter and length dimensions. The machine supports a maximum spindle speed of 4,000 RPM, enabling efficient machining of various materials with balanced speed and torque. It offers a maximum swing over the bed of 21.2 inches, accommodating sizable workpieces with substantial diameter capacity. Equipped with a tailstock, the lathe provides additional workpiece support for longer or flexible parts, enhancing stability during machining. The control system is CNC-based, utilizing FANUC 0I-TD, a reliable and widely used CNC controller known for its precision, user-friendly interface, and robust programmability. This configuration makes the lathe ideal for high-precision, repeatable turning tasks, including the production of symmetrical components. Its combination of moderate chuck size, bar capacity, and 2-axis control is optimized for standard turning applications without the complexity of multi-axis milling or live tooling. The tailstock and CNC control further enhance the machine’s capability for production and prototyping in a manufacturing environment requiring reliable, accurate, and moderately flexible turning processes.
