LA-250 / LA-300 Series

LA-250 and LA-300 Series Turning Centers are built on a foundation of strength and stability, featuring a box way design on the X, Y, and Z axes. This heavy-duty construction provides excellent dynamic rigidity and vibration damping, allowing the machines to maintain accuracy and part quality even during aggressive, heavy-cutting operations.

To further enhance support for longer and heavier workpieces, the tailstock rail is also constructed with a box guideway design, enabling higher tailstock thrust and greater stability in demanding applications. This ensures precise alignment and consistent machining accuracy when handling challenging components.

At the core of the machine, the bed incorporates an internal gear lubrication box, a design that improves lubrication efficiency, reduces wear, and extends the service life of critical components. Combined with the machine’s robust structure, these engineering features make the LA-250 and LA-300 Series exceptionally well-suited for shops requiring rigidity, reliability, and precision in a cost-effective platform.

LA-250 and LA-300 Series Turning Centers are equipped with Takisawa’s in-house engineered T12 Milling Turret, a proven design that delivers outstanding rigidity, precision, and reliability. More than just a turning turret, the T12 provides true multi-tasking capability by enabling milling, drilling, and tapping operations in addition to conventional turning. This integration allows for the machining of complex, high-accuracy components in a single setup, significantly reducing part handling, cycle times, and cumulative error—ideal for mass production environments.

To ensure each machine is tailored to the customer’s application, Takisawa offers a customized needs assessment, providing flexibility in the number of tools, tool holder arrangements, and milling cutter options. This ensures that the turret configuration is optimized for productivity, efficiency, and part complexity.

The turret’s milling motor is directly powered by the main spindle motor, delivering the torque and stability needed for demanding cutting conditions, while the servo-driven tool indexing system enables fast, smooth, and highly accurate tool changes. Together, these design elements provide the strength, versatility, and repeatability required for modern production demands.

With its combination of robust construction, customizable tooling options, and servo-controlled precision, the T12 Milling Turret makes the LA-250 and LA-300 Series powerful, flexible turning centers capable of handling today’s increasingly complex machining requirements.

LA-250 & LA-300 Series Turning Centers can be tailored for even greater productivity by incorporating a gantry loading system for efficient loading and unloading, along with an automated feeding system for raw materials and finished components. These automation options significantly reduce manual intervention and idle time, creating a smoother production flow. As a result, manufacturers can achieve faster cycle times, greater throughput, and more consistent quality across higher-volume operations.
