CLARK MACHINE TOOL CNC 40 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

The FANUC OI MT CNC-controlled lathe is a precision turning center designed for mid-range production applications. This machine features a maximum turning diameter capacity of 15.75 inches, accommodating workpieces up to this dimension for cylindrical and contoured turning operations. The machining length of 39.37 inches provides substantial workspace for extended part production, enabling efficient processing of longer components in a single setup. The FANUC OI MT control system represents an industry-standard CNC platform known for exceptional reliability, with a Mean Time Between Failure rate of 52 years, ensuring minimal downtime and consistent operational performance. This control architecture supports advanced motion control capabilities including AI Contouring Control II+ and Nano Interpolation technology for achieving high-precision surface finishes with increment systems as fine as 0.1μm. The system incorporates SERVO HRV+ Control and Fine Surface Technology, optimizing both cutting speed and surface quality during high-speed machining operations. The OI MT control integrates multi-path PMC (Programmable Machine Controller) functionality with multiple independent machine ladders, enabling flexible machine configuration and peripheral device management without requiring external controllers. Standard features include conversational programming via MANUAL GUIDE i for simplified operator interface, integrated dual-check safety functions, and energy monitoring capabilities for optimized production efficiency. The system supports rapid cycle time optimization through smart backlash compensation and automatic tuning of acceleration/deceleration parameters, making this lathe suitable for production environments requiring consistent precision and reliability across diverse turning and facing applications.
