CLAUSING CB 45X409 CNC LATHE

This heavy-duty CNC lathe is equipped with a FANUC 18i-T control system, representing a sophisticated turning center designed for extended production runs and complex machining operations. The machine features a substantial 45-inch swing over the bed, providing ample capacity for large-diameter workpiece machining while maintaining precision tolerances. The impressive 409-inch machining length accommodates extended bar stock and enables multi-operation part production without repositioning, significantly enhancing productivity for long components. The FANUC 18i-T controller is a specialized turning variant offering advanced axis control capabilities, supporting multiple simultaneous paths for simultaneous machining operations. This CNC platform delivers high-speed positioning, precise interpolation algorithms, and real-time feedrate optimization for turning, boring, and facing operations. The control system integrates comprehensive parameter management, enabling customization of machine-specific functions including spindle speed regulation, tool compensation algorithms, and coordinated axis motion. Advanced features include stored stroke limit checking to prevent interference, automatic tool change coordination, and full-closed-loop feedback from position detection systems for dimensional accuracy. The system supports both inch and metric conversions, multiple I/O configurations for auxiliary equipment integration, and emergency stop protocols for operator safety. Nano-interpolation capabilities enhance surface finish quality during contouring operations. The 18i-T's architecture facilitates complex multi-axis turning cycles, synchronized spindle control, and integrated PMC (Programmable Machine Controller) interfaces for external device coordination.
