TAKISAWA-TAIWAN LS-1000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The TAKISAWA-TAIWAN LS-1000 is a heavy-duty horizontal machining center designed for large diameter and long-length turning operations. It features a main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 35.43 inches and a maximum turning length of 40.59 inches, supported by a 20-inch spindle chuck and a maximum spindle swing of 40.15 inches. The spindle accommodates bar stock up to 7.08 inches in diameter and operates at a maximum speed of 1,200 RPM, powered by a robust 60 HP motor. The machine is equipped with a turret tool carrier holding up to 12 turning and 12 rotary tools, with rotary tools capable of 4,000 RPM and 15 HP. It supports simultaneous single-tool cutting on two axes, with X-axis travel of 19.7 inches and Z-axis travel of 43.3 inches. Feed and rapid traverse rates reach 472 inches per minute on both X and Z axes, enabling efficient and precise machining cycles. The construction emphasizes rigidity and precision with a 45-degree slant bed design optimized for super heavy cutting applications and durability. This combination of large capacity, power, and tool versatility makes the LS-1000 suitable for heavy machining of large parts requiring high torque and surface finish accuracy, typically found in demanding industrial sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and heavy equipment manufacturing.
