LEADWELL T-7IS CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a 2-axis CNC turning machine designed for precision bar stock machining operations. The machine accommodates round bar material up to 2.6 inches in diameter, providing substantial capacity for medium-sized production runs. With a 20.5-inch swing diameter, the machine can handle workpieces with significant radial dimensions while maintaining rigid support during cutting operations. The dual-axis configuration enables simultaneous X and Z-axis movement for efficient contouring and profiling of cylindrical components. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 4,500 RPM, the machine delivers controlled cutting velocities suitable for various material types including steel, aluminum, and composites. The integrated CNC control system executes programmed toolpaths with repeatability and accuracy typical of modern numerical control systems, enabling production of complex geometries with tight tolerances. The inclusion of a sub-spindle represents an advanced feature that permits secondary operations without part removal, facilitating reduced cycle times and improved part accuracy through live tooling capabilities. This configuration allows simultaneous machining from both ends of the workpiece or enables secondary operations such as drilling, tapping, and milling on the backside. The sub-spindle functionality significantly enhances production efficiency for multi-operation components. Overall, this machine targets job shops and manufacturing facilities requiring versatile bar feeding automation with secondary machining capabilities, suitable for producing shafts, bushings, fittings, and other turned components with secondary features.
