LITZ HITECH LH-1000B HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The LITZ HITECH LH-1000B is a horizontal machining center designed for precision and efficiency in machining operations. It features a large work support table measuring 82.6 inches in length and 48.6 inches in width, providing ample space for sizable workpieces. The spindle is oriented horizontally with a CAT-50 taper, delivering a robust 35 HP motor rated for 30-minute duty, capable of speeds up to 6,000 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 8,000 RPM for higher-speed cutting applications. The machine supports a 3-axis configuration (X, Y, Z), optimized for versatile horizontal milling tasks, though it lacks a U-axis for additional rotary motion. Tooling capacity includes a standard 60-tool magazine with an optional extension up to 120 tools to facilitate complex machining cycles without frequent tool changes. The LH-1000B does not include a pallet changer or rotary table, focusing on straightforward horizontal machining. Its structure and spindle power enable machining of medium to large components requiring stable cutting forces with CAT-50 tooling. The absence of additional rotary axes and pallet changers suggests an emphasis on reliable, high-rigidity horizontal milling suitable for batch production or standalone machining operations where extensive automation is not required. This combination of large table size, powerful CAT-50 spindle, and extensive tooling capacity makes the LH-1000B well suited for a range of production environments requiring medium-to-large part machining with robust tooling and moderate spindle speed flexibility.
