TAKISAWA-TAIWAN LS-800C HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Takisawa Taiwan LS-800C is a heavy-duty CNC horizontal turning center designed for precision machining of large workpieces and bar stock. Featuring a robust 45-degree slant bed design, this machine delivers exceptional rigidity for demanding production environments. The main spindle accommodates a maximum turning diameter of 30 inches with a turning length capacity of 41.33 inches, supported by a 20-inch chuck and 7.08-inch bar capacity. Operating at 1,200 RPM with 50 horsepower, the spindle provides high cutting torque through a fine-ground precision gearbox, enabling accurate surface finishes on larger workpieces. The machine features dual-axis capability with 15.35 inches of X-axis travel and 45.27 inches of Z-axis travel, both supported by rapid traverse rates of 472 IPM for efficient cycle times. A 10 to 12-station turret accommodates turning tools with 1.25-inch shanks, while an optional rotary tool system provides 4,000 RPM capability at 15 horsepower for additional machining operations. The through-hole spindle diameter measures 7.9 inches, facilitating continuous bar feeding. Controlled by a FANUC 0i-TD CNC controller with Custom Macro B and graphical functionality, the LS-800C supports programmable tailstock operations for enhanced automation. Weighing 35,500 pounds with overall dimensions of 270 inches wide by 109 inches deep, this machine represents an investment in production capability for precision turning applications requiring superior workholding and spindle power.
