CLARK MACHINE TOOL CNC 50 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC turning machine features a maximum turning diameter of 19.68 inches and a machining length of 59.05 inches, suitable for precision turning applications. It is controlled by the FANUC Series 0i-F CNC system, specifically the MODEL F, known for its fast, accurate, and reliable performance in milling, turning, punching, and grinding operations. The FANUC 0i-F control supports up to 12 servo axes and 4 simultaneous interpolated axes, allowing complex multi-axis machining with high precision. It integrates advanced motion control technologies such as High Response Vector Control (HRV+), nano interpolation for axis control, and AI contour control II+, enabling high-speed, high-quality machining with precise surface finishes. This system also offers enhanced programming capabilities, including conversational programming via MANUAL GUIDE i, support for multiple part-program paths, and high-speed auxiliary machine functions. Safety features include FANUC’s Dual Check Safety function and safe servo axis speed limits. The control provides ease of use through a 15-inch display, ladder logic programming, multi-path PMC function, and energy monitoring and optimization. It is designed to reduce cycle time, improve machining accuracy, and extend tool and machine life through optimized velocity gain tuning and minimized thermal effects from acceleration and deceleration. Overall, this machine and its FANUC 0i-F CNC controller provide a robust platform for precise and efficient turning operations with advanced control features tailored for high productivity and versatility in metalworking applications.
