LEADWELL LTC-50B HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The LEADWELL LTC-50B is a high-performance horizontal machining center designed for medium to large-scale turning applications. It features a single main spindle capable of handling a maximum turning diameter of 31.49 inches and a maximum turning length of 119.5 inches, with a chuck diameter of 15 inches and a maximum swing of 33.46 inches. The spindle supports bar diameters up to 4.6 inches and operates at a maximum speed of 1,500 RPM, powered by a robust 49.6 HP motor, providing strong torque for demanding machining tasks. The machine is equipped with a 12-station turret as its primary tool carrier, allowing single-tool simultaneous cutting, optimizing cycle times and flexibility in turning operations. The LTC-50B offers a 2-axis configuration with an X-axis travel of 16.73 inches and a Z-axis travel of 43.3 inches, both with rapid traverse and maximum feed rates of 394 inches per minute, ensuring fast and accurate positioning. The heavy-duty construction supports high rigidity and repeatability essential for precision machining of large components. The combination of its spindle capability, tool turret capacity, and axis travels makes the LTC-50B suitable for heavy-duty turning of automotive, aerospace, and industrial parts requiring extended length and diameter machining with efficient tool changes and strong cutting power.
