L&L Machinery LS-1000

Ball Screw through Center Traditional bed type CNC lathes installed the Z-axis ball screw on the front side of the machine, which causes the carriage and cross slide to drift during operations. This causes tapering and uneven hole diameter when facingand drilling.The LS-Series installs the Z-axis ball screw between the boxed ways to eliminate drifting problem. Bed Construction All bed ways are hardened and ground ways with double V-way design for carriage. All bed ways are stress relieved and induction hardened to 50-55HRC hardness to prolong the accuracy and life of the machine.The massive solid MEEHANITE® casting and heavily ribbed base allows LS-Series to withstand the heavy partsand cutting force. Solid 4-Step Headstock withBox Construction The LS-Series incorporates a 4-step gearbox enclosed by solid box construction casting to enhance rigidity for heavy cutting applications. The headstock gears and bearings are lubricated automatically to ensure stability in long opera. Rigid Carriage and Cross Slides The carriage is supported by 2 hardened and ground V ways, while the cross slide is supported by 2 hardened and ground boxed ways. Turcite-B lining are applied to all slide ways to eliminate stick and slip caused by friction. Heavy Turret Design The massive H6-450 turret is capable of handling the heavies cutting requirements.The servo driven turret offers quick and precise indexing of the tools and tool change can be completed within 3 seconds in any position.
