LiCON LiFLEX I 1276

Q: How much does the LiCON LiFLEX I 1276 cost?

The price estimate for the LiCON LiFLEX I 1276 is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/licon-liflex-i-1276#price; the request is passed to LiCON or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the LiCON LiFLEX I 1276 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

The LiCON LiFLEX I 1276 is a single-spindle horizontal machining center with 1,250 mm (49 in) of X travel, 700 mm (28 in) of Y and 650 mm (26 in) of Z, offered in 4- or 5-axis configuration. Among the single-spindle LiFLEX I models it sits in the middle: the LiFLEX I 755 has 750 mm (30 in) of X, and the LiFLEX I 17136 has 1700 mm.

The spindle is where a buyer has the most to decide. LiCON lists spindle options of 8,000 - 16,000 rpm, torque of 100 / 200 / 350 Nm (74 / 148 / 258 ft-lb) and an HSK 63 or HSK 100 interface. The 350 Nm (258 ft-lb) option is not listed for the LiFLEX I 755, which stops at 200 Nm (148 ft-lb), so the heavier spindle is a reason to pick this size even when the part would fit the smaller machine. The table does not say which torque goes with which speed or taper; that has to be settled in the quotation.

Rapid traverse is 80 m/min (3,150 in/min) in X, Y and Z, with 12 m/s² (472 in/s²) of acceleration. On parts with many short positioning moves the acceleration figure counts for more than the rapid rate, because the axes rarely reach top speed.

The interference cube for the A / B axes is listed as 1,600 / 1,600 mm (63 / 63 in), and it is the figure to check a fixture and part against before anything else. Tool capacity is 60 / 96 / 120 / 160 / 176 with extensions on request, and the process can run dry, with coolant or with MQL.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Spindle torque options of 100 / 200 / 350 Nm (74 / 148 / 258 ft-lb); the 350 Nm option is not listed for the LiFLEX I 755
80 m/min (3,150 in/min) rapid traverse in X, Y and Z with 12 m/s² (472 in/s²) acceleration
Interference cube of 1,600 / 1,600 mm (63 / 63 in) on the A / B axes, equal in both directions
Five tool capacity choices from 60 up to 176, with extensions on request
HSK 63 or HSK 100 spindle interface, with dry, coolant or MQL machining

Limitations

One spindle means one part per cycle; the LiFLEX II 1276 places two spindles 1,200 mm (47 in) apart on similar travels
Spindle speed options end at 16,000 rpm, where the LiFLEX I 17136 is listed with 12000 - 30000 rpm
LiCON's table gives no spindle power, table load or machine weight, so those must come from the quotation
Z travel of 650 mm (26 in) is the shortest axis, which limits how deep a part the spindle can work into

Best For

Large single parts within 1,250 mm (49 in) of X and 700 mm (28 in) of Y Steel and cast-iron work that needs the 350 Nm (258 ft-lb) spindle option 5-axis machining of parts inside a 1,600 / 1,600 mm (63 / 63 in) interference cube Jobs needing many tools on the machine, with up to 176 in the magazine

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What spindle options does the LiFLEX I 1276 have?

LiCON lists spindle options of 8,000 - 16,000 rpm, torque of 100 / 200 / 350 Nm (74 / 148 / 258 ft-lb) and an HSK 63 or HSK 100 interface. The table does not pair each torque with a speed or a taper, so confirm the exact spindle in the quotation.

02 How does the LiFLEX I 1276 differ from the LiFLEX I 755?

The LiFLEX I 1276 has 1,250 mm (49 in) of X, 700 mm (28 in) of Y and 650 mm (26 in) of Z, against 750 mm (30 in), 550 mm (22 in) and 550 mm (22 in) on the LiFLEX I 755. It also adds a 350 Nm (258 ft-lb) spindle option, where the LiFLEX I 755 is listed with 100 / 200 Nm (74 / 148 ft-lb). Rapid traverse, acceleration and the tool capacity choices are the same on both.

03 How fast are the axes of the LiFLEX I 1276?

Rapid traverse is 80 m/min (3,150 in/min) in X, Y and Z, and acceleration is 12 m/s² (472 in/s²). The acceleration figure decides non-cutting time on parts with many short moves, since the axes seldom reach full rapid speed over short distances.

04 Is there a twin-spindle machine of this size?

Yes. The LiFLEX II 1276 has two spindles 1,200 mm (47 in) apart, with 1,200 mm (47 in) of X, 700 mm (28 in) of Y and 650 mm (26 in) of Z. The LiFLEX II 1276 also adds a 500 Nm (367 ft-lb) spindle option and offers tool capacities of 60 / 120 / 144.
