CLAUSING CC 45X291 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This industrial lathe features a robust swing capacity of 45 inches and a maximum machining length of 291 inches, making it suitable for large-diameter and long-part turning operations. The machine is equipped with a CNC control system based on the Fanuc 18i-T, a high-performance controller designed for turning applications. The Fanuc 18i-T provides advanced axis control, supporting up to 12 controlled axes in a single-path configuration or up to 18 axes in dual-path setups, enabling complex multitasking and synchronized operations. The control system offers comprehensive programming capabilities, including custom macro variables, tool compensation, and part program storage, ensuring high precision and flexibility for diverse machining requirements. It supports both inch and metric measurement systems and features advanced interpolation functions for smooth contouring and high-speed machining. The Fanuc 18i-T also integrates emergency stop and overtravel protection, ensuring operator safety and machine integrity. The control panel allows for easy parameter setting, data input/output, and diagnostics, with support for various I/O devices and communication protocols. The system is compatible with full-closed loop control using pulse coders or optical scales, enhancing positioning accuracy. Additional features include learning control, HRV (High Response Vector) servo control, and nano interpolation for improved surface finish and dynamic response. The machine’s design and control system are optimized for heavy-duty turning, offering reliable performance, high productivity, and ease of operation in demanding production environments.
