CLAUSING CC 40X291 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a **40-inch swing capacity** and an extended **machining length of 291 inches**, enabling the machining of large-diameter and long workpieces with high precision. It is equipped with the **Fanuc 18iT CNC control**, a sophisticated controller optimized for multi-axis machining that supports up to 12 controlled axes, providing advanced interpolation, high-speed processing, and enhanced tool path accuracy. The control system delivers fine resolution with a minimum input increment of 0.001 mm (0.0001") and incorporates features such as customizable macros, multiple coordinate systems, and high-speed data communication through RS232C serial interfacing. The Fanuc 18iT control supports complex tool management, including live tooling and sub spindle operations, and can handle synchronization for multi-axis simultaneous machining, ensuring tight dimensional control for intricate parts. Its robust spindle drive capabilities enable precise speed control up to several thousand RPM, making it suitable for varied material types and cutting conditions. The control system integrates extensive input/output configurations for automation, including emergency stop, overtravel protections, and seamless connection with bar feeders or loaders. Overall, this machine is designed for high-performance, precision turning tasks with the enhanced programmability and reliability provided by the Fanuc 18iT CNC system, making it ideal for production environments demanding complex geometries and long workpiece capability.
