LITZ HITECH LH-500B HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Litz Hitech LH-500B Horizontal Machining Center is a robust 3-axis CNC machine designed for high-precision and heavy-duty machining applications. Featuring a horizontal spindle orientation with a CAT-40 taper, the LH-500B ensures compatibility with a wide range of cutting tools and provides excellent rigidity for demanding operations. The spindle delivers a standard maximum speed of 8,000 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 10,000 RPM, and is powered by a 25 HP (30-minute rating) motor, enabling efficient material removal across various workpiece materials. The machine’s table measures 27.5 inches in length by 25.5 inches in width, offering a stable and spacious work support area suitable for medium to large parts. Tool management is streamlined with a standard 60-tool capacity automatic tool changer, expandable to 90 tools as an option, supporting high-volume and unattended production. The LH-500B does not include a pallet changer or rotary/index table, focusing on straightforward horizontal machining tasks. The machine’s axis travels and feed rates are engineered for precision and speed, with rapid traverse rates optimized for reduced non-cutting time and increased productivity. The robust construction and horizontal spindle configuration make the LH-500B ideal for applications requiring high accuracy, repeatability, and efficient chip evacuation, particularly in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and mold making.
