LEADWELL VTL-450 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe is a 2-axis turning center equipped with a 12-inch chuck designed for precision machining operations. The machine features a robust 30 HP spindle motor capable of delivering consistent cutting power across a maximum rotational speed of 2,500 RPM, making it suitable for both steel and aluminum workpiece processing. With a maximum turning diameter of 18.1 inches and a swing capacity of 25.5 inches over the bed, this lathe accommodates mid-range workpieces with adequate clearance for cross-slide operations. The 2-axis configuration provides fundamental X and Z-axis movement, enabling standard turning, boring, and threading operations on cylindrical components. Control is managed through a FANUC 0I-TD CNC control system, offering reliable programmable operation and repeatability for complex machining tasks. The machine's specifications indicate it falls within the mid-size lathe category, balancing power and versatility for job shop and production environments. The 12-inch chuck size provides secure workpiece holding for a variety of diameters, while the 30 HP spindle delivers sufficient torque for interrupted cuts and material removal. Feed rate precision and rapid traverse capabilities ensure efficient cycle times and dimensional accuracy. This configuration is ideal for manufacturers requiring a straightforward, dependable turning solution without the complexity of multi-axis systems, making it cost-effective for applications involving standard cylindrical parts production and general machining work.
