CLAUSING CB 45X70 CNC LATHE

This is a precision CNC lathe equipped with a FANUC Series 18i-T control system, designed for high-volume turning and threading operations. The machine features a 45-inch swing diameter, accommodating workpieces up to that size for turning, boring, and facing operations. The 70-inch machining length provides substantial capacity for extended workpiece positioning and complex turning profiles. The FANUC 18i-T control offers advanced two-path capability with synchronized axis management, supporting up to 18 axes across dual CPU architecture. This enables simultaneous independent operations on both the main and sub-spindle, maximizing productivity for parts requiring multiple setups. The control system includes tandem disturbance elimination control, learning control, and nano-interpolation for precision machining down to 0.0001mm increments. The 18i-T series incorporates comprehensive chuck and tailstock barrier functions with interference checking capabilities to prevent collisions during multi-axis operations. Integrated stored stroke limit checking, axis synchronous control, and position switch functions ensure safe and repeatable machining cycles. The control supports flexible feedrate management, gear ratio optimization, and rotary axis positioning with high-speed capability. Additional features include I/O Link machine interface compatibility with up to 2,048 digital input/output points, parameter-driven axis configuration, and Ethernet connectivity for networked operations. The system supports both inch and metric conversion, custom macro programming, and comprehensive tool compensation functionality, making it ideal for complex production work including threading, grooving, and multi-operation turning tasks.
