Leichman's new modular CNC solution is now available in North America：offering unparalleled flexibility in precision machining

By Jane, Global Marketing Manager at Leichman, stated the following: "At Leichman, we don't merely sell equipment; we aim to assist you in transforming your production challenges into a competitive advantage."

Hi everyone! I'm Jane, and I'm responsible for "making friends" with customers around the world at Leichman.Today, I'd like to share an interesting story. Last year, Tommy, an engineer at a metal processing center in Texas, USA, whispered to me, "Your LK-U320 5-axis machining center can process turbine blades faster than I can drink a cup of coffee! It made me realize that good industrial equipment should be as versatile and reliable as a Swiss Army knife.

Why are North American manufacturers upgrading their CNC solutions?

According to a 2024 report by a third-party researcher, the North American precision machining industry has two major problems:

1. Complex parts are machined 22% less efficiently than parts made by Asian manufacturers.

2. Traditional equipment retrofits can take up to 6-8 weeks.

Leichman's "modular CNC program" is like the workshop with "Transformers." It needs the "CKD52 turret machine" and the "LK-U320 five-axis machining center" to switch surfaces. It takes 10 minutes to reorganize the equipment. Canada's medical device factory was able to shorten the delivery cycle from 45 days to 20 days with this program.

Surprising Leichman Secrets

First, modularity and simple assembly aren't the same thing.Our patented cooling system allows the "LK-S600 Machining Center" to have temperature fluctuations of less than 0.5 degrees Celsius during continuous machining, and maintains accuracy up to 40% higher than the industry average. The owner of a drone manufacturer in California laughed and said, "Your equipment is more stable than our flight controllers!"

And then, Did you know that saving space doesn't mean reducing performance?Check out this Mexican auto parts factory that uses an "XSK-B400 cyclone milling machine" to process gears. They're using 35% less space than the traditional program, but their processing speed is up by 18%. That's enough space to build a staff coffee corner! And here's another cool thing: environmental certification isn't just for show.

A special invitation to our North American partners

I know you are concerned:

- “Will upgrading affect production when the existing equipment is still working?”

- “Will the new equipment be compatible with our old tooling?”

Jane's Take

Leichman's been in the machine tool industry for ages, and we're not as proud of the technical stuff as we are of our customers. They often tell us, "Your engineers are as serious about debugging the equipment as they are about their own sports cars." If you're struggling with any of these issues, we're here to help:

- Complex surface machining that just won't get better

- Slow switching between small-lot and multi-variety production

- Old equipment that's a money pit, with the finance department keeping a close eye on it

Give us a break for a while — maybe next time you'll find yourself smiling at a colleague during a shop floor inspection and saying, "This equipment was customized just for us!
