CLAUSING CC 40X409 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a **40-inch swing** capacity and an extensive **machining length of 408 inches**, enabling the machining of large-diameter and long workpieces with precision. It is equipped with a **Fanuc 18iT CNC control system**, known for its advanced multi-axis capabilities, high-speed processing, and user-friendly interface. The Fanuc 18iT supports up to 12 controlled axes, allowing complex 5-axis simultaneous machining operations, enhancing productivity and accuracy. The control includes functions such as nano interpolation, high-speed machining, and versatile tool compensation, facilitating intricate part programming and smooth toolpath execution. The 18iT system features a high-resolution parameter setting with minimum increments of 0.001mm (0.0001"), ensuring precision positioning and repeatability. Its spindle speed can reach up to 6,000 RPM or more depending on the machine model, driving powerful spindle motors for stable cutting performance. The controller supports comprehensive I/O configurations and high-speed communication protocols for seamless integration with peripheral equipment like bar feeders and loaders. This setup is optimized for automated, high-precision production in industries requiring complex part geometries and large machining envelopes, such as aerospace, automotive, and heavy machinery manufacturing. The combination of a large swing and machining length with the sophisticated Fanuc 18iT CNC control delivers exceptional flexibility, precision, and control for demanding machining tasks.
