CLAUSING CK 70X476 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a **70-inch swing capacity** and a **maximum machining length of 476 inches**, suitable for large, heavy-duty turning operations. It is controlled by the **Fanuc 18iT CNC system**, known for its advanced 5-axis capability, enabling complex multi-axis machining with precise control. The Fanuc 18iT offers a minimum input and motion increment of 0.001 mm (0.0001"), allowing for high-precision machining. It supports up to 12 controlled axes on a single path and includes features such as nano interpolation, inch/metric conversion, and robust I/O integration for flexible automation. The system also supports high spindle speeds (up to 6,000–12,000 RPM, depending on configuration) and has capabilities for live tooling, sub-spindle operation, C-axis control, and Y-axis movement for versatile turning and milling operations. This machine’s controller offers efficient program transfer via RS232 and supports various communication protocols, facilitating integration into advanced manufacturing environments. Its robust hardware construction ensures stability over long machining lengths, while the control software provides extensive diagnostic and user-friendly parameter setting capabilities, allowing for optimized performance and ease of maintenance. The Fanuc 18iT controller is widely recognized for reliability and support in industrial CNC applications, making this lathe suitable for demanding precision manufacturing tasks in automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery sectors.
