CLAUSING CK 80X279 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features an 80-inch swing and a machining length of 279 inches, designed for high-precision, heavy-duty turning operations. It is equipped with a Fanuc 18iT control system, providing advanced CNC functionality for accurate and reliable machining. The control supports up to 7 axes, enabling complex multi-axis operations with rapid feed rates up to 787.4 inches per minute on linear axes and a maximum turning feed rate of 393.7 inches per minute. The C-axis offers a rapid feed rate of 550 RPM and a maximum turning feed rate of 27.8 RPM, with spindle indexing precision down to 0.01°. The main spindle delivers a speed range of 500 to 10,000 RPM, controlled via S code and direct 5-digit command, and is driven by an AC spindle motor rated at 3 HP continuous and 5 HP for short-term operation. The tool post accommodates up to 6 tools, with 4 sleeves and 3 to 8 power-driven tools, the latter capable of speeds up to 8,000 RPM using an AC servo drive. The sub-spindle operates from 500 to 8,000 RPM with direct 4-digit S code control and AC spindle drive, allowing for versatile secondary operations. The machine includes a 40.9-gallon coolant unit and supports live backworking tool options. Die cutting and slotting capabilities are available for stationary and power-driven tools, with maximum die cutting up to M8 x P1.25 and slotting up to 0.059 inches wide by 0.157 inches deep. The Fanuc 18iT control ensures seamless integration with part conveyors and loader systems, supporting up to 12 controlled axes in multi-path configurations. This lathe is ideal for large-part machining in industries requiring high accuracy and repeatability.
