Litz MV-1600A

Q: How much does the Litz MV-1600A cost?

The price estimate for the Litz MV-1600A 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-mv-1600a#price; the request is passed to Litz or an authorised dealer.

Overview

The Litz MV-1600A is the largest BT-40 machine in the MV vertical machining center series. Its table is 1,700 x 800 mm (66.9 x 31.5 in) and holds 1,600 kg (3,527 lb), with travels of 1,600 mm (63.0 in) in X, 800 mm (31.5 in) in Y and 740 mm (29.1 in) in Z.

A 40-taper spindle on a table this size is a deliberate choice. The spindle runs at 8,000 rpm on a 15 / 18.5 kW (20 / 25 HP) motor, and the magazine is the biggest standard one in the series at 30 tools. That suits large, relatively light workpieces with many features: aluminium plates, panels, frames and welded structures that need dozens of drilled and tapped holes plus some pocketing. Litz lists 10,000 rpm and 12,000 rpm spindles as options for exactly that sort of work.

The column and head are built for the travel. Z-axis counterweight with a central guiding system is standard, and all three axis motors are 3.5 kW. Rapids are 20 / 20 / 18 m/min (787 / 787 / 709 ipm) and cutting feed is limited to 8,000 mm/min, so cycle time on this machine comes from time in the cut, not from positioning.

The standard guarding is a worktable half cover; a full enclosure is optional. Seven 18 mm T-slots cross the table. Spindle nose to table distance is 100 to 840 mm (3.9 to 33.1 in). Machine weight is 14,500 kg (31,966 lb) with a 40 kVA supply and a 500 L coolant tank.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How big is the Litz MV-1600A table?

The table measures 1,700 x 800 mm (66.9 x 31.5 in), has seven 18 mm T-slots and carries 1,600 kg (3,527 lb). Travels are 1,600 mm (63.0 in) in X, 800 mm (31.5 in) in Y and 740 mm (29.1 in) in Z.

02 What is the difference between the MV-1600A and MV-1600B?

The MV-1600A is BT-40 at 8,000 rpm with a 30-tool magazine and a 7 kg (15 lb) tool limit. The MV-1600B is BT-50 at 6,000 rpm with 24 tools and a 15 kg (33 lb) limit. Both have a 15 / 18.5 kW motor and the same travels, and the MV-1600B weighs 15,000 kg against 14,500 kg.

03 What spindle options exist for the MV-1600A?

Standard is 8,000 rpm with a spindle air seal and spindle head coolant cooling system. Options are 10,000 rpm and 12,000 rpm spindles, a spindle oil cooler and coolant through the spindle. A ZF gearbox is also on the option list.

04 Does the MV-1600A come with a full enclosure?

No. The standard guarding listed is a worktable cover, described as a half cover. The full enclosure, chip conveyor and wash down device are options. A chip auger inside the machine and a chip cart are standard.
