CLAUSING CB 45X173 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This industrial lathe features a 45-inch swing and a machining length of 173 inches, making it suitable for large-diameter and long-part turning operations. The machine is equipped with a Fanuc 18i T CNC control system, providing advanced programming, high-speed processing, and precise axis management. The Fanuc 18i T supports up to 12 controlled axes (including machine and loader axes), with options for multi-path control and loader integration, enabling complex machining sequences and automation. The control offers robust interpolation capabilities, including linear, circular, and helical interpolation, as well as advanced functions such as learning control, high-response vector (HRV) control, and inch/metric conversion for flexible programming. The system supports nano interpolation for ultra-precise surface finishes and includes comprehensive safety features such as emergency stop, overtravel protection, and stored stroke limit checks. The Fanuc 18i T also provides extensive I/O capacity, with up to 2048 digital input and output points, and supports various interface modules for machine integration and automation. The control’s operator panel and I/O modules facilitate seamless communication with peripheral devices and tooling systems. The machine’s design allows for efficient chip and coolant management, and the CNC system enables easy programming via conversational or G-code methods. With its large working envelope, high-precision control, and automation-ready architecture, this lathe is ideal for heavy-duty turning applications in industries such as aerospace, energy, and transportation.
