Key Features of the Leichman CKD52 CNC Turret Lathe

1. Servo-Powered Turret with Rapid Tool Change

The CKD52 is equipped with an 8-station servo turret, allowing fast and reliable tool indexing. This minimizes non-cutting time, enabling quicker cycle transitions and optimized production line flow.

2. Heavy-Duty Machine Bed for Rigid Machining

Its solid cast iron bed absorbs vibrations, ensuring stability during high-speed turning operations. Whether you're machining stainless steel, aluminum, or carbon alloy parts, the CKD52 maintains accuracy with every cut.

3. Compact Footprint, Big Performance

With a space-efficient design, this lathe is perfect for small-to-medium workshops looking to boost output without expanding factory floor space. Despite its compact build, it delivers exceptional turning performance for parts up to Ø200mm.

4. User-Friendly CNC Control System

The CKD52 supports multiple CNC controllers, including Syntec, Fanuc, or Siemens, with intuitive HMI (Human Machine Interface) for easy programming. Operators can swiftly switch between part programs, adjust tool offsets, and monitor spindle load in real time.

5. Precision Spindle and Servo Axes

The spindle features a high-precision bearing structure for smoother surface finishes, while X and Z axes adopt high-response servo motors with linear guideways for quick positioning and excellent repeatability.

Applications & Real-World Use Cases

The CKD52 CNC Turret Lathe is widely used in:

• Automotive parts machining (e.g. shafts, flanges, and connectors)

• Aerospace fittings (excluding defense-grade parts)

• General machinery workshops producing high-precision batches

• Hydraulic and pneumatic component manufacturers

• Job shops doing customized small-batch orders with tight tolerance needs

Real Scenario Example:
A U.S. client using the CKD52 in their Illinois-based machining workshop reported a 40% reduction in tool change downtime and 25% improvement in small-part output due to its servo turret and fast program switching.
