CLAUSING CC 35X212 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 35-inch swing capacity and a maximum machining length of 212 inches, allowing for the processing of sizable cylindrical workpieces. It is controlled by the Fanuc 18iT CNC system, known for its high-speed, multi-axis control capabilities suitable for complex machining operations. The Fanuc 18iT supports up to 12 controlled axes, rapid feed rates up to 787.4 inches per minute on linear axes, and spindle speeds reaching 8,000 RPM, providing excellent precision and productivity. The control offers fine positional increments down to 0.0001 inches and precise spindle indexing with 0.01° resolution on C-axis control, enabling accurate contouring and rotary machining. The system includes AC spindle drives with a continuous 3 HP main spindle motor and optional live tooling capable of power-driven tools ranging from 3 to 8 in number for milling and drilling operations. Hydraulic, pneumatic, and coolant systems support machine stability and cooling, with typical hydraulic pressures around 493 psi and coolant capacity near 41 gallons. The robust tool post supports up to 6 tools, including 3 standard cross-milling power-driven attachments. The control’s integrated functions provide advanced features such as threading, slotting, and multi-axis interpolation, making it suitable for complex parts requiring high accuracy and surface finish. Overall, this setup offers a versatile high-performance CNC lathe ideal for heavy-duty and precision machining tasks across various manufacturing sectors.
