CLAUSING CK 70X240 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a **70-inch swing** and a **240-inch machining length**, enabling the handling of large and long workpieces with precision. It is equipped with a **Fanuc 18iT CNC control system**, a robust and widely used controller known for its high performance in complex machining applications. The Fanuc 18iT supports multi-axis control, high-speed data processing, and accurate interpolation for smooth and precise tool movement. The system offers rapid feed rates up to approximately 787 inches per minute for linear axes and spindle speeds reaching up to 8000 RPM, controlled via an AC spindle drive with servo motor precision. Tool management includes multiple tool posts with power-driven attachments to enhance machining versatility, allowing efficient tool changes and various machining operations. Coolant and hydraulic units are integrated for system reliability, maintaining optimal operating conditions during extended machining cycles. The controller supports sophisticated functions such as spindle indexing with 0.01° resolution on the C-axis and fine incremental input steps as small as 0.0001 inches, ensuring dimensional accuracy for high-precision turning and milling tasks. Integrated safety features include coolant level and flow detectors, as well as emergency stop capabilities. This combination of large capacity, advanced CNC control, and comprehensive peripheral systems makes the machine suitable for demanding industrial applications requiring precision turning, milling, and complex contouring.
