CLAUSING CB 70X488 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This industrial lathe features a robust swing capacity of 70 inches and a maximum machining length of 488 inches, making it suitable for large-scale turning operations. The machine is equipped with a Fanuc 18i T CNC control system, providing advanced automation and precision for complex machining tasks. The Fanuc 18i T controller supports up to 12 controlled axes (including machine and loader axes) and offers high-speed, high-accuracy interpolation, including options for nano interpolation and learning control. The control system enables seamless integration of multiple paths and loaders, enhancing productivity for multi-operation setups. It supports inch/metric conversion, emergency stop, overtravel protection, and advanced servo control features such as HRV (High Response Vector) control for improved dynamic response and surface finish. The Fanuc 18i T also provides comprehensive I/O capabilities, with up to 2048 digital input/output points, and supports various interface modules for machine integration and automation. The control panel allows for easy programming, parameter setting, and diagnostics, with support for custom macros, tool compensation, and stored stroke limit checks. Safety features include stored stroke limit area switching, OT area access avoidance, and interference checks for each path. The system is compatible with full-closed control using pulse coders or optical scales, ensuring high positional accuracy. With its powerful control system and large machining envelope, this lathe is ideal for heavy-duty turning applications in industries such as aerospace, energy, and large-part manufacturing.
