LUCAS 40T HORIZONTAL BORING MILL

Technical Description

The LUCAS 40T HORIZONTAL BORING MILL is a robust table-type machine, often retrofitted with a CNC control such as the Dynapath 2000M or GE 2000, and is designed for complex machining operations. Key specifications include a 6-inch spindle diameter with a CT 50 or #50 taper, driven by a 40 HP main motor, achieving spindle speeds up to 1,150 RPM (or 6 to 1420 RPM depending on the specific model). The machine features five programmable axes (X, Y, Z, W, and Spindle). Its substantial working capacity is highlighted by an X-Horizontal travel of up to 144.5 inches and a Y-Vertical travel of the head up to 120 inches. Spindle travel (W-axis) is 72 inches in the primary specification, though 36 inches is noted in related models. The work surface is managed by a Lucas B48 Air-Lift Rotary Table, with a work plate size of 60 inches x 60 inches, though other table dimensions up to 157.5 inches wide are noted. Standard equipment includes a Jorgensen chip conveyor, coolant system, and a remote jog handwheel, all integrated into a flush-floor design with flame-hardened ways and ground ball screws on all axes.
