Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Litz LT-400 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 Litz LT-400 is a two-axis CNC turning lathe one size above the LT-350, with an A2-6 spindle nose, 52 mm (2.0 in) bar capacity, a 320 mm (12.6 in) maximum turning diameter and 530 mm (20.9 in) of turning length.
Length is where it gains most. Between-centres distance is 645 mm (25.4 in) and Z travel 530 mm, enough for motor shafts, spindles and hydraulic rods that the LT-350 cannot hold at 350 mm. The tailstock grows with it, to a 90 mm (3.5 in) quill with an MT5 taper and 435 mm (17.1 in) of body travel.
The spindle trades speed for strength. Its range is 30-4,000 rpm with an 11 / 15 kW (14.8 / 20.1 hp) motor and a 100 mm (3.9 in) front bearing, against the 6,000 rpm and 7.5 / 11 kW of the LT-350. Larger diameters at lower speed is the right direction for steel shafts and cast flanges. Turret tooling steps up as well, to 25 mm (1.0 in) OD shanks and 40 mm (1.6 in) boring bars in 12 stations, indexed by a 1.2 kW servo motor.
Axis rapids are a little lower, 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Z. The machine is 2,250 mm (88.6 in) long, weighs 4,300 kg (9,480 lb) and still runs on a 15 kVA supply. Coolant capacity is 200 L. A robot interface and automatic front door are among the options for automated loading.
