Technical Description
This industrial machine features a robust swing capacity of 45 inches and a maximum machining length of 488 inches, making it well-suited for large-scale turning and milling operations. The CNC control system is powered by the Fanuc 18i-T, a high-performance controller known for its reliability, advanced axis management, and support for complex machining tasks. The Fanuc 18i-T enables precise control over multiple axes, supporting up to 16 controlled axes in standard configurations, with options for expanded axis control and simultaneous multi-path operation. The controller integrates advanced functions such as high-speed interpolation, learning control, and HRV (High Response Vector) servo control, ensuring smooth motion, high accuracy, and efficient cycle times. The system supports both inch and metric units, and includes comprehensive safety features such as emergency stop, overtravel protection, and full-closed loop position detection using pulse coders or optical scales. The Fanuc 18i-T also offers extensive I/O capabilities, with up to 2048 digital input and output points, and supports various communication protocols for seamless integration with peripheral devices and automation systems. The control panel allows for flexible operation, including manual data input (MDI), jog feed commands, and override adjustments, while parameter settings can be easily configured via the MDI interface. The machine’s large swing and machining length, combined with the advanced Fanuc 18i-T control, make it ideal for heavy-duty applications in industries such as aerospace, energy, and large-part manufacturing, where precision, reliability, and versatility are critical.
