CLAUSING CK 50X82 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a robust swing capacity of 50 inches and a machining length of 82 inches, making it suitable for large-diameter and long-part turning operations. The machine is equipped with a Fanuc 18i T control system, a high-performance CNC platform known for its reliability, advanced axis control, and user-friendly interface. The Fanuc 18i T supports up to 16 controlled axes (with options for expansion), enabling complex multi-path and tandem operations, including simultaneous control of multiple spindles and turrets. The control system offers advanced functions such as high-speed machining, flexible feed gear, learning control, and HRV (High Response Vector) control for improved cutting accuracy and surface finish. It also supports inch/metric conversion, nano interpolation, and emergency stop and overtravel protection for enhanced safety and operational flexibility. The Fanuc 18i T provides comprehensive I/O capabilities, with up to 2048 DI/DO points, and integrates seamlessly with machine interface modules and operator panels. The control’s modular design allows for easy integration with loaders and automation systems, supporting loader axis control and tandem operation for increased productivity. The system’s parameter settings and diagnostics are accessible via the MDI panel, with extensive customization options for axis control, increment systems, and coordinate management. This lathe is ideal for heavy-duty machining applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and energy, where precision, reliability, and versatility are critical.
