12000 RPM, 40 Taper, FANUC Oi-Md, top quality, well-ribbed construction, and with an additional 2,000 lbs. added to the base casting over the old design. The new V-50i is strong and ruggedly constructed for stability and machining accuracy. Along with the enhanced base is a larger column featuring a heavier bottom section for increased stability and rigidity. The increased weight and size of the cast iron base, column and tables, result in superior cutting performance. The V-50i is engineered and built for increased speed, precision and enhanced productivity. The V series machines employ Schneeberger Cross Roller type linear guide ways on all axes and feature zero clearance and fully-loaded carrying capacity in all directions. The rigid base and column work in concert with these guides to provide stability for precision heavy material removal and work piece accuracy. All Leadwell machines leave the factory only after a ball bar test system checks accuracy and machine geometry. “They are affordable, flexible and feature exceptional quality and high-efficiency.” said Tomalonis. The V-50i utilizes Cartridge type 12,000 RPM, spindles that with a Fanuc Motor produce 30 HP for high torque machining, helping to ensure consistent clean cuts. Coolant through spindle preparation is standard and features a #40 taper spindle. This one-piece cartridge type spindles ia built with high precision ceramic hybrid bearings and ensure precise alignment for smooth run-out free operation. All Leadwell products are standardized with FANUC controls and the V Series features the FANUC Oi-Md
