LEADWELL LTC-25IL CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe is a precision turning machine equipped with a 10-inch chuck designed for secure workpiece holding and reliable clamping of bar stock up to 3 inches in diameter. The machine delivers a maximum rotational speed of 3,500 RPM, enabling efficient machining of various materials with adequate surface finish and cutting performance. The 26.3-inch swing specification indicates the maximum workpiece diameter that can rotate over the bed, establishing the machine's capacity for handling larger components. The absence of a tailstock restricts this lathe to front-end machining operations, making it suitable for shorter workpieces and reducing setup complexity for applications that don't require end-support. The machine is controlled by a FANUC 0I-TD CNC control system, a robust industrial control platform that manages multi-axis operations, tool positioning, and automated part programming. This configuration supports standard turning operations including threading, facing, boring, and grooving on cylindrical and stepped parts. The combination of the 10-inch chuck capacity with the 3-inch bar feeder makes this machine ideal for production runs of medium-sized components in manufacturing environments requiring consistent accuracy and repeatability. The FANUC 0I-TD control ensures user-friendly program entry, real-time diagnostics, and compatibility with modern CAD/CAM software, making this lathe suitable for job shops and mid-volume production facilities requiring versatile turning capabilities without the complexity or footprint of multi-axis turning centers.
