CLAUSING CC 40X133 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a **40-inch swing capacity** and a **133-inch maximum machining length**, enabling it to handle large-diameter and long workpieces efficiently. It is equipped with a **Fanuc 18iT CNC control**, a widely recognized and robust controller known for high precision and versatility in multi-axis machining operations. The Fanuc 18iT supports advanced functionalities such as high-speed interpolation, multi-axis coordination, and flexible communication protocols, making it suitable for complex turning tasks. The control system offers fine positioning with minimum input and motion increments of 0.001 mm (0.0001"), ensuring high accuracy. The machine's CNC control supports up to 12 controlled axes depending on configuration, with built-in features for tool compensation, macro programming, and diagnostic monitoring to optimize machining efficiency and reliability. Spindle speed can typically reach up to 6,000 to 12,000 RPM, depending on the spindle drive and configuration, providing versatility for different materials and cutting conditions. Additional features often integrated with the Fanuc 18iT include live tooling, sub-spindles, C-axis and Y-axis capability, enhancing multi-function turning and milling capabilities on a single platform. The system supports advanced connectivity, enabling program transfers via RS232 or Ethernet with multiple baud rate settings for streamlined CNC program management and external device integration. This combination of large capacity, precise control, and flexible CNC programming makes the lathe highly suitable for demanding industrial applications in aerospace, automotive, and general machining sectors.
