CLAUSING CK 70X437 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This high-performance CNC lathe features a 70-inch swing and a machining length of 437 inches, designed for large-scale turning operations with precision and efficiency. Equipped with the Fanuc 18iT control system, it delivers advanced programming capabilities, smooth axis movement, and reliable operation for complex machining tasks. The control supports up to 7 axes, enabling simultaneous multi-axis control for enhanced flexibility in part production. Rapid feed rates reach 787.4 inches per minute on linear axes and 550 RPM on the C-axis, while maximum turning feed rates are 393.7 inches per minute and 27.8 RPM respectively, ensuring fast cycle times without sacrificing accuracy. The spindle offers a speed range of 500 to 8000 RPM, powered by an AC spindle drive with a 3 HP continuous (5 HP intermittent) motor, supporting both standard and power-driven tooling options. The machine includes a 6-station tool post with 4 sleeve positions and up to 8 power-driven tools, allowing for versatile machining including cross-milling. Input increments as fine as 0.0001 inch and spindle indexing down to 0.01° provide exceptional precision. The system integrates a coolant unit with a 40.9-gallon capacity and safety features such as coolant level and flow detectors, alongside a hydraulic unit operating at 493 psi and a pneumatic system at 72.5 psi. Optional live backworking tools and part conveyor enhance automation potential. The Fanuc 18iT control ensures seamless integration with modern manufacturing environments, supporting advanced functions such as inch/metric conversion, emergency stop, overtravel protection, and comprehensive I/O capabilities for expanded connectivity and control.
