CLAUSING CK 60X476 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a **60-inch swing diameter** and a substantial **476-inch machining length**, making it suitable for large and extended workpieces. It is controlled by a **FANUC 18iT CNC system**, known for its advanced multi-axis control capabilities, smooth interpolation, and high-speed processing. The FANUC 18iT supports precise machining operations with resolution down to 0.001 mm (0.0001 inch) and flexible axis control, accommodating complex part geometries with up to 12 axes managed depending on system configuration. The control facilitates smooth coordination of tool paths, enabling efficient turning, drilling, and milling operations. The system typically supports multi-axis setups including C-axis and Y-axis, allowing live tooling and sub-spindle management for enhanced versatility. The FANUC 18iT CNC provides real-time monitoring, parameter adjustments, and programmable logic control integration for automated workflow control. Its robust design supports spindle speeds up to 6,000–12,000 RPM on comparable machines, ensuring high productivity and machining precision. The control interface includes LCD displays, network connectivity, and safety features for optimal operator usability. Overall, this machine combines a large working envelope with advanced CNC technology, ideal for precision manufacturing of large or long components across automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery sectors.
