CLAUSING CB 60X409 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

The Fanuc 18i-T is an advanced CNC control system designed for precision turning operations on large-scale lathes. This configuration supports a machine with a 60-inch swing capacity and 408-inch machining length, enabling the processing of extended workpieces with significant diameter capacity. The 18i-T variant is specifically engineered for lathe applications, offering two-path control functionality that allows simultaneous independent machining operations on multiple spindles or tool turrets. The Fanuc 18i-T delivers sophisticated axis control capabilities, supporting up to 12-20 controlled axes depending on configuration, with options for tandem control and multi-CPU dual-path operation. The control system features a 0.0001mm increment resolution for exceptional precision machining. Key capabilities include stored stroke limit checking, chuck and tailstock barrier functions, and interference detection for each path, ensuring safe and accurate operations on turning centers with this extended reach. The system incorporates advanced functions such as constant surface speed control for optimized cutting conditions and comprehensive I/O connectivity through I/O Link modules, supporting up to 2048 digital input and output points. The 18i-T provides parameter-based customization through MDI (Manual Data Input) mode, enabling operators to configure machine-specific settings, feedrate parameters, and axis control characteristics. This control platform combines reliability with advanced motion control, making it suitable for heavy-duty production turning environments requiring precision on large components.
