LTS5 Features

Lathe Machine Features
Built for Production - Fits Through a 3’ Door Heavy foundation, precision components and quality design assure production capabilities similar to bigger machines. Compact design fits into small places - base casting is 34" wide. Good for labs, schools, garages, etc.
Heavy Castings with Cast Base Compact machine design is highly rigid and weighs over 3200 lbs. Very high weight-to-work cube ratio, assuring higher precision and quality results, even when taking heavy cuts. Amazing weight and precision for small floor space requirement.
Full Enclosure Machine is completely enclosed with a sliding front access door, and easy access panels on tailstock end, and machine back side. Coolant and chips are enclosed and properly recycled. Electromagnetic lock keeps operator safe.
1.18” Spindle Bore/5” Chuck Comes standard with 5” manual 3-jaw chuck and A2-4 spindle nose. Optional pneumatic system or hydraulic chuck system available. Adaptable for an automatic bar feeder, and live tooling.
Quick Change Tool Post Quick change tool post allows for convenient tooling changes by using lower cost standard sized tooling. Useful in small part run operations, machine shops and prototyping - situations where you are changing tooling more often.
Manual Tail Stock With nearly 7” of travel on the tail stock and 3.2” of quill travel.
Solid Box Ways Traditional way design has several advantages - including the ability to take heavy cuts and handling heavier work pieces. Induction hardened and ground for precision and long life.
Center Mounted Ball Screw Eliminates torque on the ball screw - improving dynamic properties of the machine and increasing component life. Also provides better protection of the ball screw.
Telescoping Covers Stainless steel telescoping guards provide maximum protection of guideways and ball screw from chips and coolant.
Tool Box and Tools A set of the basic tools required for maintenance are included with this lathe. Gives you what you need to get your machine up and running, and for routine maintenance.
Foundation Pads Heavy machined leveling pads that adjust the height to keep your machine aligned and balanced. Solid multi-point contact with shop floor reduces vibrations and increases accuracy.
Drive System Features
5 HP Servo Spindle Drive Plenty of power to match the machine’s capacity.  Capable of rigid tapping and spindle positioning.
50-3000 Spindle Speed Range Infinitely variable speed ranges, from 50 to 3000 RPMs. No need for changing gears or belts.
Schneider Electrical Components One reason we can offer an 18 month machine warranty is because of the recognized quality and reliabilty of Schneider Electrical components. Highest reliability rating - highy efficient design reduces power usage.
Feed Rates: 240 IPM on X / 320 on Y Faster speeds equals higher production rates. The Siemens industrial control, axis servo drive system and linear ways provide the power and control that allows for higher speeds - many times faster then competitive systems.
Safety/Operation Features
Ergonomic Control Panel and Operator Interface Machine control panel adjusts and rotates up to 90 degrees. High tactile buttons, manual pulse generator, and convenient cycle start buttons improve operator convenience, efficiency, and safety.
Manual Pulse Generator Handheld pendant that allows operator to be independent from the main control panel. The rotating knob generates pulses that are sent to the machine control, allowing the operator to move the lathe in a predetermined distance wiht each click of the knob detent.
Automatic Lubrication System Lubricates all wear points during machine operation at continuous time intervals. Benefits include: reduced labor, material costs and significant extension of bearing life.
Programmable Coolant System Control coolant flow at the control panel using standard M-Codes. Cycle times can be significantly reduced, while feeding and cutting speeds can be significantly increased. Proper cooling extends life of cutting tools.
Work Light Focused lighting elements increase operator efficiency and reduce fatigue. This light is flicker resistant, waterproof, and resistant to both cooling and lubricants. It is also resitant to impacts and vibrations. 
Tri-Color Alarm Light Green light turns red when control alarm recognizes a machining error or machine malfunction. An operator standing away from the machine is visually alerted by the activated alarm light when machining cycle is finished or machine errors out.
Siemens 808D CNC Control Features
Closed Loop System System directly monitors motor position and velocity in real time. The system then automatically makes corrections to assure correct tool positioning. High accuracy and maximum parts quality ensures a minimal rejection rate. Also assures smoother surface finishes.
Siemens Servos and Drives Achieves rapid acceleration and higher speeds - maintains high torque throughout speed range. Motor is highly efficient - and it stays cool. Quiet at high speeds - vibration free operation.
Ideal for CNC Beginners Ideal for entry level CNC users, the innovative integrative start-GUIDE from Siemens provides an on-line digital help function on every screen. Helpful instructions are available anytime - at a push of a button.
Simple & Intuitive Interface Well designed conversational programming functions and Wizards from Siemens help streamline programming at the control panel. All Siemens 808D controls come standard with this SINUMERIK Operate BASIC functionality.
Compact and Robust Industrial panel design with hardened features is ideal for harsh environments. Small compact design matches smaller machines tools like the AutoMate CNC line.
USB Connector - Easily Handles Large Files This unique Siemens function allows for the streaming of large program files direct from a USB. Large files are no longer a concern - other CNC systems lack this robust level of functionality.
Built-In Helps Several Siemens provided “assists” help streamline programming functions. One example would be Hot Keys. With the Hot Key function, machine operators can easily access commonly used screens using operator defined hot keys.
