LS-1100 Series

LS-1100 Series Turning Centers are engineered with a one-piece, 45° slant bed design, providing the ideal foundation for optimal cutting conditions and superior machining performance. Constructed from high-grade cast iron, the bed offers an excellent damping coefficient to absorb vibration and minimize thermal deformation, ensuring accuracy and consistency even during extended heavy-duty operations.

The machine’s box guideways are induction-hardened, delivering maximum hardness and long-term wear resistance while supporting the rigid structural integrity required for precision cutting. Complementing this foundation is a high-rigidity spindle structure, specifically designed to resist deformation, handle powerful cutting forces, and deliver long-lasting durability in the most demanding environments.

A heavy-duty turret, engineered in-house by Taiwan Takisawa, ensures rapid and accurate positioning, while the robust construction supports multi-process machining with reliability and efficiency. To further enhance cutting capability, the LS-1100 incorporates a two-step gearbox, providing extremely high torque at low spindle speeds. This allows for outstanding heavy-cutting performance while still maintaining precise surface finishes and machining accuracy.

The LS-1100 Series Turning Centers are equipped with Taiwan Takisawa’s heavy-duty, in-house manufactured turrets, designed for maximum rigidity, accuracy, and long-term reliability. Engineered for large-scale, heavy-duty machining, the turret features one of the largest available curvic couplings in its class—an impressive 18” diameter—housed within a massive turret body measuring 31.5” in diameter and 7.8” thick. This robust construction ensures exceptional clamping force, stability, and durability, even under the heaviest cutting conditions.

The turret incorporates a two-piece, high-precision coupling system that provides both high clamping strength and rapid, accurate indexing. Its design allows for quick calibration and precise positioning in both clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise (CCW) directions, reducing setup times and improving operational efficiency.

With its massive size, precision coupling system, and customizable configurations, the LS-1100 Series turret delivers the rigidity, accuracy, and versatility required for machining large, heavy components with consistent precision and productivity.

The LS-1100 Series 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.
