CLAUSING CC 50X370 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

This industrial machine features a 50-inch swing and a machining length of 370 inches, designed for high-precision, large-scale turning operations. It is equipped with a Fanuc 18i-T CNC control system, providing advanced programmable automation for complex machining tasks. The Fanuc 18i-T controller supports up to 16 controlled axes, enabling multi-path and loader integration for enhanced productivity and flexibility. The control system offers robust communication capabilities, including RS232 serial interface with configurable baud rates (standard 9600 bps), unified I/O channel management, and support for both EIA and ISO programming standards. The CNC provides comprehensive interpolation functions, emergency stop and overtravel protection, inch/metric conversion, and high-speed position switching for efficient operation. The system supports parameter write enable via MDI for configuration and maintenance, and includes advanced servo tuning and axis control features for optimal performance. The Fanuc 18i-T also integrates with digital servo drives and offers full-closed loop control using pulse coder or optical scale feedback for maximum accuracy. The control panel features a user-friendly interface with dedicated softkeys for program editing, parameter setting, and diagnostics. The machine’s large swing and extended machining length make it suitable for heavy-duty applications in aerospace, energy, and large-part manufacturing. The Fanuc 18i-T CNC ensures reliable, precise, and efficient control for demanding turning operations, supporting a wide range of tooling and workholding configurations.
