LEADWELL V-20I VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The LEADWELL V-20I is a precision vertical machining center designed for mid-range production applications requiring high accuracy and reliability. This three-axis machine features a compact footprint with a 23.6" x 13.8" work table, providing excellent space efficiency without compromising work capacity. The machine delivers 20.10" of travel in both the X and Z axes and 13.80" of Y-axis travel, accommodating a diverse range of component sizes from small intricate parts to medium-scale workpieces. Equipped with a powerful 20 HP spindle motor, the V-20I operates at speeds up to 10,000 RPM and utilizes an industry-standard CAT#40 spindle taper for quick and reliable tool changes. The machine achieves rapid traverse rates of 1,417 IPM across all axes, minimizing non-cutting cycle time and maximizing productivity. The integrated 24-position tool magazine with side-mount automatic tool changer enables uninterrupted machining operations, reducing operator intervention and improving overall throughput. The V-20I incorporates a chip auger removal system for efficient coolant management and chip evacuation, maintaining optimal working conditions throughout extended production runs. The machine's rigid cast iron construction and fine-grade design ensure dimensional stability and precision, making it suitable for aerospace, automotive, and medical device manufacturing where tolerance requirements are stringent. This versatile machining center successfully balances automation capabilities with user-friendly operation, delivering consistent results across both high-volume and low-volume production scenarios while supporting materials including aluminum, steel, and composite materials.
