LEADWELL MCV-1100 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a **3-axis configuration** with travel capacities of 43.3" in the X-axis, 24" in the Y-axis, and 24" in the Z-axis, enabling precise three-dimensional machining. The **table measures 51.18" long by 23.6" wide** and supports a maximum workpiece weight of **2,200 lbs**, providing a stable platform for medium to large parts. The spindle operates in a **vertical orientation** with a standard **#40 taper** and an optional **#50 taper**, featuring a **top speed of 8,000 RPM** powered by a **15-horsepower motor rated for 30 minutes**, which balances high-speed cutting with substantial torque. Tool management is facilitated by an **automatic tool changer (ATC)** initially equipped with a single tool station, expandable up to **24 tools**, with a tool change time of approximately **3.5 seconds** and chip-to-chip tool change cycle of **7 seconds**, optimizing productivity. The machine’s rapid traverse and maximum feed rate are both set at **591 inches per minute**, enabling efficient material removal and quick positioning. The table and axes are designed for high rigidity and accuracy, supported by standard CNC control systems with digital drives and low-friction linear guideways or ballscrews (inferred), suitable for applications requiring consistent dimensional accuracy. This configuration is ideal for machining complex parts requiring robust workholding and high-speed spindle operation within medium-sized shop environments.
