CLAUSING CB 70X133 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a robust swing capacity of 70 inches and a machining length of 133 inches, making it suitable for large-diameter and long-part turning operations. The machine is equipped with a Fanuc 18i-T control system, a high-performance CNC platform known for its reliability, precision, and advanced programming capabilities. The Fanuc 18i-T offers comprehensive axis control, supporting up to 12 controlled axes (including machine and loader axes) and providing options for multi-path operation, enabling simultaneous control of multiple spindles or turrets for increased productivity. The control supports a wide range of interpolation types, including linear, circular, and helical, ensuring accurate contouring and complex part geometry. It also features advanced functions such as high-speed machining, learning control, and HRV (High Response Vector) servo control for improved dynamic response and surface finish. The system includes standard I/O capabilities with up to 2048 digital input/output points, supporting integration with automation systems and peripheral devices. The Fanuc 18i-T provides comprehensive tool management, tool compensation, and part program storage, along with user-friendly programming interfaces and diagnostics. Safety features include emergency stop, overtravel protection, and stored stroke limit checks. The control supports both inch and metric units, and offers options for nano interpolation and full-closed loop control using pulse coders or optical scales. This combination of large work envelope, advanced CNC control, and versatile machining capabilities makes the machine ideal for demanding production environments requiring high accuracy and efficiency.
