CLAUSING CK 50X358 CNC LATHE

This CNC lathe features a 50-inch swing capacity and an extensive machining length of 358 inches, supporting large workpieces and long operations. It integrates the Fanuc 18iT CNC control system, known for its advanced 2- to 5-axis capabilities, high precision, and robust performance in complex machining environments. The Fanuc 18iT supports high-speed interpolation, precise tool compensation, and multiple axes control with fine incremental positioning down to 0.001 mm (0.0001"), ensuring high accuracy and repeatability. Typical spindle speeds range up to 6,000 RPM or higher depending on configuration, with support for synchronous axes and live tooling options. The control offers comprehensive diagnostic, motion control, and safety features, including emergency stop and overtravel protection. The large swing and long bed length combined with this sophisticated CNC system allow for versatile machining of complex, large parts typical in aerospace, automotive, or heavy equipment manufacturing. The Fanuc 18iT system supports networking and enhanced input/output interfacing, facilitating integration with bar feeders, sub-spindles, and multi-axis configurations. Its architecture is designed for ease of programming, operation, and maintenance, leveraging industry-standard Fanuc reliability and support protocols to minimize downtime and maximize production throughput. This combination provides a high-performance machining platform optimized for large-scale, precision CNC turning tasks requiring extensive motion range and robust control sophistication.
