CLAUSING CK 70X82 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

The Star Fanuc 18i-T CNC turning center represents an advanced precision machining platform designed for high-volume production environments. This machine features a 70-inch swing capacity and an 82-inch machining length, enabling the processing of large diameter and lengthy workpieces. The 18i-T control system delivers exceptional performance with rapid feed rates up to 787.4 inches per minute across linear axes (Z, X, Y, ZB, XB) and 550 RPM on the C-axis, ensuring efficient cycle times. The machine is equipped with a main spindle capable of 8000 RPM with 3 HP continuous or 5 HP intermittent power delivery, coupled with an AC spindle drive for smooth rotational control. The sub-spindle operates independently at speeds ranging from 500-8000 RPM with precision spindle indexing at 0.01-degree increments. The Fanuc 18i-T CNC control provides simultaneous multi-axis capability with full 7-axis control, enabling complex contour turning, cross-milling, and live tooling operations. The tooling system accommodates six tool stations with four sleeves and up to eight power-driven tools, with the power-driven attachment reaching 8000 RPM maximum speed under AC servo drive control. For enhanced productivity, the machine includes a 40.9-gallon coolant system with integrated level and flow detection, a 2.6-gallon hydraulic unit at 493 psi, and a pneumatic system at 72.5 psi. This configuration makes the machine ideal for automotive, aerospace, and medical device manufacturing requiring precision turning with integrated milling capabilities.
