Litz LT-400M

Q: How much does the Litz LT-400M cost?

The price estimate for the Litz LT-400M 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/litz-lt-400m#price; the request is passed to Litz or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Litz LT-400M 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-400M is an 8 in (203 mm) chuck turning centre with a C axis and a 12-station live turret, so cross holes, flats and keyways are cut in the same clamping as the turning. Turning capacity is 215 mm (8.5 in) in diameter and 530 mm (20.9 in) in length, with 52 mm (2.0 in) bar capacity.

All 12 stations can drive a tool. The milling motor is rated 3.7 / 5.5 kW (5.0 / 7.4 hp) and 35 Nm (26 lb-ft), and its speed range is 10-5,000 rpm. Those are drilling, tapping and light milling figures: enough for bolt circles and small slots, not for heavy face milling. Litz gives the C axis an indexing increment of 0.001 degree and says C-X and C-Z can move together, which covers drum cam and plate cam contours. There is no Y axis in the table, so off-centre features have to be reached with C and X.

The main spindle is an A2-6 nose with a 63 mm (2.5 in) through hole, 30-4,000 rpm and a 7.5 / 11 kW (10.1 / 14.8 hp) motor. X travel is 190 mm (7.5 in) and Z travel 530 mm. A tailstock with an MT5 taper, 435 mm (17.1 in) of travel and a 100 mm (3.9 in) quill stroke supports shaft work across the 645 mm (25.4 in) between centres.

Fitting the live turret costs turning diameter. Swing over the bed is 400 mm (15.7 in) and over the slide 320 mm (12.6 in), yet the maximum turning diameter is 215 mm and the standard turning diameter 186 mm (7.3 in). The standard tooling package includes one axial and one radial drilling and milling head; further driven heads have to be added to the order. The machine weighs 4,300 kg (9,480 lb) and needs 20 kVA.

Yes. The turret has 12 stations and the number of live tools is 12. The milling motor is 3.7 / 5.5 kW (5.0 / 7.4 hp) with 35 Nm (26 lb-ft) and a speed range of 10-5,000 rpm. Litz states a C axis indexing increment of 0.001 degree and a C axis rapid rotation speed of 40 RPM.

02 Does the LT-400M have a Y axis or a sub-spindle?

The specification table lists X travel of 190 mm (7.5 in) and Z travel of 530 mm (20.9 in), and the catalogue describes the C axis. It lists no Y axis and no sub-spindle; the tail end of the machine carries a tailstock with 435 mm (17.1 in) of travel.

03 What size of work does the LT-400M turn?

Maximum turning diameter is 215 mm (8.5 in), standard turning diameter 186 mm (7.3 in) and maximum turning length 530 mm (20.9 in). Bar capacity is 52 mm (2.0 in), the chuck size is 8 in (203 mm) and the distance between centres is 645 mm (25.4 in).

04 Which controls and motors are listed for the LT-400M?

The table names Mitsubishi M70-2A / FANUC 0iTC-package A. The spindle motor is 7.5 / 11 kW (10.1 / 14.8 hp), the X and Z servo motors are 1.5 kW and 3.0 kW, and the machine needs a 20 kVA supply.
