LITZ HITECH LH-500A HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Litz Hitech LH-500A Horizontal Machining Center features a robust 27.5" x 25.5" worktable designed for stable support during high-precision machining. It operates with a horizontal spindle configuration equipped with a CAT-40 taper, achieving up to 10,000 RPM standard, with an optional upgrade to 12,000 RPM, delivering 25 HP (30-minute rating) for powerful cutting performance. The spindle and transmission system are optimized for both high-speed mold machining and low-speed, high-torque applications, ensuring versatility across diverse machining tasks. The machine includes a 60-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), expandable to 90 tools, facilitating efficient workflow and minimizing downtime without a pallet changer or rotary table support. It operates on three axes (X, Y, and Z) with boxway linear guides and high-resolution linear scales that guarantee rigid support and precise positioning during heavy cutting operations. The structural design incorporates Meehanite cast iron and a ribbed base for enhanced stability and vibration dampening. This horizontal machining center is engineered to reduce non-cutting time and increase overall machining efficiency, making it suitable for complex milling, boring, drilling, and tapping operations in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and mold making. Its rugged build, combined with high-speed spindle capability and large tool capacity, positions the LH-500A as a high-performance machine ideal for demanding production environments requiring precision, speed, and reliability.
