LEADWELL T-5 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Leadwell T-5 is a 2-axis CNC horizontal turning center designed for precision machining operations. This machine features a 6-inch chuck with maximum turning capabilities of 5.35 inches in diameter and 5.91 inches in length, accommodating bar stock up to 1.37 inches in diameter. The main spindle delivers 10 horsepower at speeds reaching 4,500 RPM, enabling efficient material removal across various applications. The T-5 incorporates a slide-type primary tool carrier capable of holding up to 6 turning tools, with one tool engaged during simultaneous cutting operations. Its 2-axis configuration (X, Y, and Z) provides 9.05 inches of travel on both X and Z axes, supporting robust part geometry. The machine achieves rapid traverse rates of 945 inches per minute across all axes, minimizing idle time and maximizing productivity during tool changes and positioning movements. The rigid cast iron construction of the base, saddle, headstock, and tailstock ensures superior stability and machining accuracy. This CNC turning center utilizes FANUC control systems, offering proven reliability and widespread industry support. The Leadwell T-5 is well-suited for small-to-medium production runs, prototype development, and precision component manufacturing across industries including automotive, medical device, and general machining. Its compact footprint, combined with rapid traverse capabilities and adequate spindle power, makes it an economical solution for shops requiring versatile turning operations without requiring larger, more complex equipment investments.
