NEXTURN LP-12 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Nexturn LP-12 Horizontal Machining Center is a precision CNC Swiss-type lathe engineered for high-accuracy production of small, complex parts. It features a single main spindle with a maximum turning diameter and bar capacity of 0.470", capable of reaching speeds up to 12,000 RPM and delivering 2.90 HP for efficient material removal. The spindle offers an indexing increment of 1.000°, ensuring precise angular positioning. The machine is equipped with a slide-type primary tool carrier, supporting up to 10 turning tools and 8 rotary tools, with rotary tool power rated at 0.66 HP and speeds up to 6,000 RPM. Designed for simultaneous cutting operations, it allows one tool to cut at a time, optimizing process control and part quality. The LP-12 operates on a 3-axis system, with optional configurations for up to 4 axes, providing flexibility for advanced machining tasks. Axis travel is 6.300" on the Z-axis, and all axes deliver a maximum feed rate and rapid traverse of 590 inches per minute, enabling fast cycle times and high throughput. The robust construction and advanced control system ensure consistent repeatability and reliability, making the Nexturn LP-12 ideal for demanding applications in industries requiring tight tolerances and superior surface finishes.
