CLAUSING CC 40X212 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

The Fanuc 18iT CNC control system operates as an ultra-compact, ultra-thin controller integrated with LCD display and network capabilities, designed for high-speed precision machining operations. This lathe configuration features a maximum swing diameter of 40 inches, allowing for workpieces up to that radius to be machined, with an extended machining length of 212 inches, providing substantial capacity for long-form component production. The Fanuc 18iT controller supports advanced CNC functionality including multi-axis control with capabilities up to 12 axes in single-path configuration or 18 axes in dual-CPU, dual-path setups, enabling complex simultaneous machining operations. Communication parameters are configurable via RS232 DC code control with standard 9600 baud rate settings and RTS/CTS handshaking protocols. The system incorporates nano interpolation technology for enhanced precision and includes features such as inch/metric conversion, learning control, and HRV control for optimized cutting performance. Parameter management is accessible through MDI mode operation, allowing technicians to configure feedrate, axis control, increment systems, and coordinate parameters. The controller supports data input/output for tool compensation amounts, part programs, and custom macro variables, with system parameters modifiable through dedicated parameter write sequences. This combination of extended machining length, generous swing capacity, and sophisticated Fanuc 18iT control makes the machine suitable for precision turning, drilling, and complex multi-axis operations across various industrial manufacturing applications.
