LEVIL LTC-F20 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a compact benchtop CNC lathe featuring a 4-inch chuck capacity and 8.6-inch swing, making it suitable for small to medium-sized precision turning operations. The machine operates on two axes (X and Z), enabling traditional lathe functions including facing, threading, and cylindrical turning. Powered by a 2.01 hp motor, it delivers adequate cutting force for materials such as aluminum, brass, and plastics, though limited for heavy-duty ferrous metal machining. The maximum spindle speed of 3,000 RPM provides controlled material removal rates appropriate for the machine's power class and rigid construction. The FANUC 0i-TF CNC controller offers sophisticated programming capabilities with block processing and look-ahead functions, enabling efficient part production from G-code programs. This controller integration ensures compatibility with standard CAM software and provides real-time speed and feed adjustments during operation. The two-axis configuration restricts functionality to conventional lathe operations without live tooling or Y-axis capability, distinguishing it from more advanced multi-axis turning centers. Its compact footprint and modest electrical requirements make it ideal for job shops, educational facilities, and small manufacturers requiring precision turned components without demanding heavy industrial production. The combination of user-friendly FANUC control and practical specifications positions this machine as an accessible entry point for CNC lathe operations while maintaining sufficient accuracy and repeatability for quality part production in controlled shop environments.
