2007 LEADWELL V80I VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2007 Leadwell V80I is a 3-axis vertical machining center engineered for heavy-duty milling of large workpieces requiring extended X-axis reach. Built on a rigid cast-iron structure, the V80I delivers an 80-inch X-axis travel, 40-inch Y-axis travel, and 28-inch Z-axis travel, accommodating substantial workpiece envelopes in automotive, aerospace, and mold production environments. The machine is equipped with a 12,000 RPM, 35 HP direct-drive spindle with a CAT/CT-40 taper, providing the torque and surface speed required for both roughing and finishing operations across a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 82.7- by 40.0-inch work table supports a maximum load of 4,000 lbs, making it suitable for fixture-heavy setups and large part families. Motion control is delivered through the Fanuc 18i CNC, a proven platform offering high-speed machining packages, AI nano contour control, and rigid tapping as standard capabilities. A 30-tool arm-type automatic tool changer supports complex multi-operation programs without manual intervention. Rapid traverse rates in all axes ensure efficient repositioning. The V80I's reinforced column and cross-rail construction minimizes thermal and mechanical deflection during sustained heavy cuts. Overall machine dimensions are approximately 134.6 inches long by 86.6 inches wide by 107.1 inches tall, with a shipping weight of approximately 25,794 lbs. This model represents Leadwell's commitment to combining large-format travel with precision spindle performance in a production-ready VMC platform.
