CLAUSING CK 60X240 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 60-inch swing and a 240-inch machining length, designed for large-scale turning operations. It is equipped with the Fanuc 18iT CNC control system, renowned for its high reliability and precision in industrial machining. The Fanuc 18iT supports multi-axis control, typically up to 7 or more axes, enabling complex machining with rapid feed rates up to 787.4 inches per minute on linear axes and spindle speeds ranging from 500 to 10,000 RPM. The system offers fine spindle indexing with 0.01° resolution and robust AC spindle drive motors delivering 3 HP continuous and 5 HP for short bursts, optimizing performance for varied cutting demands. The control supports advanced features such as slotting, live tool milling, and multi-tool capability, with options for power-driven tool attachments running up to 8,000 RPM. Its user interface facilitates precise programming—including inch/metric conversion and advanced interpolation—and integrates multiple safety and diagnostic functions. The machine accommodates tool posts with up to six tools, including power-driven attachments for milling and drilling, expanding versatility. The Fanuc 18iT controller is also capable of high-speed position switching and supports integration with auxiliary equipment and conveyors for full automated production workflows. This setup is ideal for heavy-duty turning and milling applications requiring a large work envelope, sophisticated control, and high throughput.
