Description

Reliable

Economical and easy to operate with reliability and performance that come from a legendary name in machine tools! The LeBlond LVM 12 Series Vertical Knee Mills feature a 12″ x 58″ table and multiple spindle speed control selections.

Precision

Spindle support provided by high-precision Class 7 angular contact ball bearings that have been accurately measured, selected and pre-loaded, then assembled in a temperature-controlled room to ensure accuracy and rigidity throughout the full RPM range.

Heavy Duty

All essential castings are made of high-grade Meehanite cast iron that has been stress-relieved to provide a rigid machine structure. The quill-feed mechanism utlizes a one-piece pinion gear and shaft that both provide strength, rigidity and less maintenance.

Quiet Operation

The low vibration infinitely variable high horsepower drive system creates the quietest head you ever used with dynamically balanced pulleys and chrome-plated motor shaft for smooth speed changes free of noise and vibration. An easy-to-read digital readout mounted to an adjustable operator station pendant is available.

Newall 2-Axis Digital Readout system (installed)

An electronic measuring device consisting of a digital display unit and linear scales or encoders that are mounted on the mill and measure the movement of the machine tool axes, sending signals transformed into readings that can be easily read and interpreted by the machine operator.

 

Newall 3-Axis Digital Readout system (installed)

A system designed to measure the linear movement of machine tool axes, typically the X, Y, and Z axes. Provides faster, more accurate and more consistent readings and eliminates the need for manual calculations or the use of additional tools such as micrometers or dial indicators.

 

Machine Vise

Used to clamp the workpiece in place and designed for heavy-duty applications such as machining large metal parts.

 

Clamping Kit

A set of tools consisting of a variety of clamps, studs, nuts and other components that can be used to clamp the workpiece onto the mill.

 

X-Axis Power Feed

A device typically mounted on the side of the milling machine and consisting of a motor, gearbox and control unit. Used to automate the movement of the machine’s X-axis horizontal movement table and can be integrated into the machine’s control system.

 

Y-Axis Power Feed

Same as the X-Axis power feed, but works on a milling machine to automate the movement of the machine’s Y-axis table or front-to-back movement.

 

Z-Axis Rapid Feed

Same as the X-Axis power feed, but works to automate the movement of the machine’s Z-axis table or vertical movement. Its rapid feed allows the operator to move the position quickly rather than having to crank the knee up and down manually.

 

Air Power Drawbar

An accessory that sucks the collet or clamping device into place on the workpiece.

 

Coolant System

Can help reduce heat generated during machining, prolonging the life of the mill and improving the machined surface’s quality.
