CLAUSING CC 45X212 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a heavy-duty CNC turning center equipped with a Fanuc 18i T control system, designed for large-scale lathe operations. The machine features a 45-inch swing capacity, allowing for machining of substantial workpieces with generous diameters. The extended 212-inch machining length accommodates long, complex components requiring precision turning, boring, and threading operations across significant axial distances. The Fanuc 18i T control represents a sophisticated multi-axis CNC platform capable of managing dual-path operations for simultaneous machining on both spindles. This control system supports up to 12 controlled axes in standard configurations, with expandable capability to 16-18 axes through dual-CPU configurations. The 18i T variant is specifically optimized for turning (T-series) applications, incorporating advanced features such as stored stroke limit checking, chuck and tailstock barrier functions, and precision axis control. The system integrates comprehensive programming capabilities including G-code execution, custom macro variables, and tool compensation management. Parameter-driven architecture enables precise configuration of feedrate, coordinate systems, and axis synchronization. Communication interfaces support multiple data input/output protocols through configurable baud rates and I/O modules accommodating up to 2048 digital input/output points. Safety features include emergency stop, overtravel protection, and stored limit checks before movement. This configuration delivers production-grade capability for aerospace, power generation, and heavy industrial component manufacturing requiring high precision and extended workpiece engagement.
