The V-32iT is not your average 3-axis couch potato with commitment issues. This is 4+1 axis machining muscle wrapped in a ceramic belt-driven spindle, whispering sweet nothings to your parts at 12,000 RPM. It flies across the X and Y axes at 48 meters per minute like it’s being chased by an audit.
But don’t be fooled by its elegance, this machine is built like a Marvel origin story.
A BT40 spindle with 95.5 Nm of torque, roller guideways, and Fanuc Oi-MF Plus brains. That’s like mixing a Jedi with a pit crew and giving it caffeine.
This 5-axis machine swings parts up to 150 kg, even while tilting its trunnion like it’s working on its yoga flexibility. The 40-tool ATC is swapping tools faster than most people swap excuses on Monday morning.
It’s got an internal hydration plan. Chip management like a janitor with OCD. Spindle cooling chill enough to keep tool life long and scrapped parts short.
So whether you’re machining parts for aerospace, medical, or a start-up that swears it’s going to the moon next year, the Leadwell V-32iT has your back, your front, your sides, and five axes of productivity.
