CLAUSING CK 80X358 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features an 80-inch swing and a machining length capability of 358 inches, making it suitable for large workpieces. It is equipped with a Fanuc 18iT CNC control system that supports advanced multi-axis machining and high-speed processing, featuring rapid feed rates up to approximately 787.4 inches per minute on linear axes and spindle speeds up to 8000 RPM. The control allows precise positioning with minimum input increments of 0.0001 inches and spindle indexing accuracy of 0.01° on the C-axis. The machine integrates a powerful AC spindle drive with a main spindle motor delivering 3 HP continuous power and up to 5 HP peak power for short durations, ensuring robust performance during heavy cutting operations. The tool post configuration supports multiple tooling options, including 6 tools for standard use and additional power-driven tools with AC servo drive control, enhancing versatility for complex operations such as cross-milling. Ancillary units include a coolant system with a 40.9-gallon capacity and flow detection safety features, a hydraulic power unit operating at 493 psi, and a pneumatic system at 72.5 psi for auxiliary functions. A sub-spindle option with speeds ranging from 500 to 8000 RPM and precise indexing (minimum 15° increments) allows for complex multi-step machining processes. Overall, this machine combines the extensive machining envelope with the precision and flexibility of Fanuc's 18iT control platform, suited for demanding manufacturing environments requiring large-scale and high-accuracy CNC turning operations.
