Technical Description
This CNC lathe features a 60-inch swing and an 82-inch machining length, designed for high-precision turning of large-diameter and long workpieces. The machine is equipped with a Fanuc 18iT CNC control system, providing advanced programming, diagnostics, and operational capabilities. The Fanuc 18iT controller supports up to 12 controlled axes (including machine and loader axes), with options for dual-path control, enabling simultaneous machining on multiple spindles or turrets. The control system offers robust interpolation, including linear, circular, and helical interpolation, as well as advanced functions such as learning control, HRV (High Response Vector) servo control, and nano interpolation for ultra-fine surface finishes. The CNC interface supports inch/metric conversion, emergency stop, and overtravel protection for operator safety and process reliability. The system is compatible with a wide range of I/O modules, including I/O Link and operator panels, with up to 2048 input and 2048 output points for integration with automation and peripheral devices. The Fanuc 18iT also features comprehensive tool compensation, custom macro programming, and part program storage, allowing for complex machining cycles and efficient production. The control’s modular design and extensive parameter settings facilitate customization for specific machining requirements. With its combination of large swing, extended machining length, and advanced Fanuc 18iT control, this lathe is ideal for heavy-duty turning applications in industries such as aerospace, energy, and large-scale manufacturing, delivering high accuracy, reliability, and productivity.
