CLAUSING CB 60X370 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This heavy-duty CNC lathe features a 60-inch swing capacity, enabling machining of large-diameter workpieces with substantial radial clearance for tool access and workholding systems. The 370-inch machining length accommodates extended bar stock and complex multi-stage turning operations, making this machine suitable for aerospace, energy, and heavy industrial applications requiring extended workpiece engagement. The control system utilizes the FANUC Series 18i-T, a sophisticated two-path turret lathe controller designed for advanced turning operations. This control platform supports up to 18 axes in dual-CPU configurations with dual-path capability, enabling synchronized tandem control and independent tool path management. The 18i-T incorporates high-precision contour control and nano-interpolation capabilities, delivering positioning increments as fine as 0.0001mm and 0.0001 degrees, ensuring superior surface finish and dimensional accuracy. The control features comprehensive parameter management via MDI input with up to 2048 DI/DO points for machine interface I/O control. Advanced functions include stored stroke limit checking, interference detection per path, and chuck/tailstock barrier control for safety-critical operations. The system supports inch/metric conversion, learning control, and flexible feed gear optimization for adaptive machining strategies. This combination delivers production-grade capability for high-precision, long-workpiece turning with sophisticated multi-axis coordination and real-time adaptive control, ideal for demanding manufacturing environments requiring repeatable accuracy and extended material engagement capabilities.
