The LS-1000 L15 is a key model in the JTEKT Takisawa LS Series of Large, Superduty Boxway Lathes, specifically designed for machining parts that demand high rigidity and extensive turning length. The machine’s foundation utilizes extra-heavy-duty CNC 2 axes and features robust box guideways to ensure exceptional stability and vibration dampening during aggressive cuts, critical for maintaining high precision. At its core, the spindle is powered by a motor delivering 50 HP (37 kW) for 30 minutes (40 HP continuous) and operates at up to 1,200 RPM. This power is transmitted through a fine-ground precision gearbox that provides high cutting torque for large workpiece capacity while simultaneously ensuring the accurate surface finish required for quality control.

With a maximum workpiece swing diameter of 40.1 inches (1,020 mm) and a maximum turning length of 60.3 inches (1,531 mm), the LS-1000 L15 is built for long shaft and large-diameter turning applications. The machine supports a large 20-inch chuck size and has a bar work capacity of 7.1 inches (180 mm). It is available as a standard 2-axis lathe or with a C-axis and milling capabilities (LS-1000M L15 variant) for process consolidation. Its robust construction and power specifications make it equally adept at machining ferrous metals, non-ferrous alloys (like aluminum), and challenging high-temp alloys (like titanium and stainless steel).
