Leonard Machine Tool Systems provides custom, heavy duty, large capacity lathe build or repair and retrofit services to customers in the component manufacturing industry and specifically the railroad industry.

If your project requires a new machine we build them custom to your specifications and part process. We build both horizontal and vertical heavy duty CNC lathes. For more detailed information please see the link below.

If you are looking to rebuild your current lathe the process can include converting the lathe from mechanical contouring using hydraulic tracers to a CNC controlled system. Each project is unique, but each rebuild generally includes disassembling, assessing, repairing/rebuilding/retrofitting, all systems of the machine to bring it up to current machine tool standards. Systems addressed include the mechanical, hydraulic, electrical and lubrication system.

Customers who have converted to CNC controls have experienced substantial increase in productivity, finish quality, and reduced changeover time. The equipment is most commonly used to machine railroad wheels and railroad axles.

Available for service calls when necessary, we are dedicated and committed to building customer relationships and satisfaction. To learn more about our machinery, please contact us for more information.
