Nuneaton-based machine tool supplier Leader CNC will be highlighting how it can provide cost-effective machining solutions at MACH.

Nuneaton-based machine tool supplier Leader CNC will be highlighting how it can provide cost-effective machining solutions that meet the exact needs of its users regardless of material or component type, component size or industry sector.

Leader CNC is the UK agent for Kitamura high accuracy, horizontal machine tools, which as standard are equipped with rapid traverse rates of 50m/min on all linear axes, utilising solid box type slideways, through spindle coolant, cooled ballscrews, full rotary B-axes plus high speed/high torque gear driven spindles. The company is also the UK representative for the high precision Toshiba Machine range for medium to large sized components. These include twin and multi-pallet machining centres, vertical turn only and turn/mill centres, table type and moving column horizontal boring machines, universal and 5-axis gantry mills.

These machines have proved particularly popular in heavy industry. For example, Toshiba BTF 130mm spindle horizontal boring machines have the capability to move 20 tonne loads at 18m/min to a linear accuracy of ±0.016mm. Single column vertical borers and turn/mill centres are currently used by a number of customers for the manufacture of wind turbine parts ranging in size from 1.3m through to 3m diameter. With moving table vertical lathes capable of swinging 5.5m diameter, to double column machines up to 8m diameter, Toshiba gantry mills with built-in rotary tables can both turn and perform 5-axis machining on complex aerospace parts.

For customers looking for turning solutions, Leader CNC is the UK agent for DMC turning centres, part of the Ilrim Nano-Tec Group and a major stakeholder in the Samsung Machine Engineering Company (SMEC) whose products are also available through Leader. The Monforts range of large capacity multi-axis lathes are also supplied by the company. Completing the current line-up, Leader CNC has also become the sole UK agent for Spain-based Unamuno multi-axis lathes. Leader CNC
