How much does the Litz LH-1000 cost?

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Litz LH-1000 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.

Litz LH-1000 — price

Price estimate: uncertain

We have no price for the Litz LH-1000 that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so this page shows no number rather than a guess. A quote from Litz or an authorised dealer is the reliable figure.

What moves the final price

  • Spindle, control and probing options
  • Tool changer capacity and tooling package
  • Automation — pallet changers, bar feeders, robot cells
  • Freight, rigging, installation and training
  • Region, dealer and time of year

Overview

The Litz LH-1000 is a large horizontal machining center with 1,000 x 1,000 mm (39.4 x 39.4 in) pallets and 2,100 mm (82.7 in) of X travel. Y and Z each travel 1,235 mm (48.6 in), and each pallet carries 3,500 kg (7,716 lb).

The X stroke is more than twice the pallet width. That lets the spindle reach well past both sides of the pallet, which helps with wide weldments and with workpieces that overhang, and it gives room for long tools to clear the part during indexing.

Pallets are exchanged by an inclined shuttle-type changer in 26 s, a different mechanism from the rotary changers on the smaller LH models and one suited to pallets of this weight. Workpieces can be 1,500 mm (59.1 in) high.

The spindle is the 660 Nm (487 lb-ft) geared unit: No.50 taper, 6,000 rpm, ZF gear box with belt transmission, 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp). Options listed are 8,000 rpm and 10,000 rpm speeds and a direct transmission. The magazine holds 60 tools up to 600 mm (23.6 in) long and 30 kg (66 lb).

Installation is a project. The machine weighs 32,000 kg (70,547 lb), covers 8,110 x 5,850 mm (319.3 x 230.3 in), stands 4,013 mm (158.0 in) high and needs 65 kVA. Rapids are 24,000 mm/min (945 ipm). The specification table names the control as FANUC 0i.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • 2,100 mm (82.7 in) of X travel over 1,000 mm pallets
  • 3,500 kg (7,716 lb) per pallet and workpieces up to 1,500 mm (59.1 in) high
  • 660 Nm (487 lb-ft) geared No.50 spindle
