TAKISAWA-TAIWAN LA-200 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Takisawa LA-200 is a compact, high-performance horizontal turning center engineered for precision machining operations. This 2-axis CNC lathe features a robust main spindle with 3,200 RPM capability and 14.3 HP output, accommodating workpieces up to 9.050" in turning diameter and 11.8" in turning length. The machine utilizes an 8" chuck and accepts bar stock up to 2.040" diameter, making it suitable for both production and job-shop applications. The integrated turret system supports up to 12 turning tools and 12 rotary tools simultaneously, including an optional high-speed rotary tool spindle rated at 6,000 RPM with 3 HP for milling, drilling, and tapping capabilities. With a maximum swing diameter of 18.5", the LA-200 provides excellent working envelope efficiency in a minimal footprint. The machine delivers impressive rapid traverse rates of 945 ipm across all axes (X, Y, Z) and feeds to 945 ipm on the X-axis, ensuring responsive tool positioning and reduced cycle times. Its box-way guideway design and Taiwan Takisawa in-house turret and spindle construction deliver high rigidity and accuracy throughout machining operations. Optional C-axis capability enables complex rotational machining for enhanced versatility. The modularized structure facilitates automation integration and gantry loader compatibility, making this turning center ideal for applications requiring tight tolerances and combined turning-milling operations in a space-conscious manufacturing environment.
