CLAUSING CK 80X160 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This heavy-duty CNC lathe features an 80-inch swing and a 160-inch machining length, designed for high-precision turning of large workpieces. The machine is equipped with a Fanuc 18iT CNC control system, providing advanced programming, diagnostics, and axis management for reliable and efficient operation. The control supports up to 7 axes, including C-axis spindle indexing for complex contouring and live tooling applications. Rapid feed rates reach up to 787.4 inches per minute on linear axes, with a maximum turning feed rate of 393.7 inches per minute, ensuring fast and accurate material removal. The main spindle delivers speeds from 500 to 10,000 RPM, driven by a 3HP continuous (5HP intermittent) AC spindle motor, enabling versatile machining across a wide range of materials. The sub-spindle operates from 500 to 8,000 RPM, supporting backworking and secondary operations. The tool post accommodates up to 6 tools, with 4 sleeve positions and 3–8 power-driven tools, including cross-milling capability. Power-driven attachments reach up to 8,000 RPM for milling and drilling operations. The system features a 40.9-gallon coolant unit for effective chip removal and thermal stability. The Fanuc 18iT control offers S-code spindle speed selection, direct 5-digit command input, and 0.01° C-axis indexing resolution. The machine supports part projection lengths up to 1.18 inches and insert lengths up to 2.95 inches, with a maximum slotting capability of 0.059 inches (width) by 0.157 inches (depth). The control system also integrates emergency stop, overtravel protection, inch/metric conversion, and advanced interpolation functions for enhanced machining accuracy and safety.
