CLAUSING CB 70X252 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

The FANUC 18i T is a precision CNC control system specifically designed for turning operations on large-capacity lathes. This control model supports multi-axis machining with configurable axis architecture, accommodating various machine configurations with up to 18 controlled axes through dual-CPU, dual-path capability. The 18i T variant is optimized for T-series (turning) applications, offering enhanced functionality for complex lathe operations. With a swing capacity of 70 inches, this machine provides substantial workpiece diameter capability for heavy-duty turning applications. The 252-inch machining length enables extended part production, supporting long workpiece requirements across diverse manufacturing sectors. This configuration is ideal for precision machining of shafts, tubes, and other cylindrical components. The Fanuc 18i T control integrates advanced CNC functions including stored stroke limit checking, chuck and tailstock barrier control, and interference detection for multi-path operations. The system supports learning control, inch/metric conversion, and nano interpolation for enhanced accuracy. Parameter management is conducted through MDI (Manual Data Input) mode with comprehensive data input/output capabilities for system parameters, tool compensation data, and part programs. The control features a maximum of 1024 DI/DO points expandable to 2048 points through optional I/O modules, enabling complex machine interface integration. Position detection utilizes pulse coder or optical scale interfaces with both 2-phase pulse and serial interface options for full-closed loop control. This robust platform delivers the reliability and precision required for high-volume production environments.
