CLAUSING CL 35X318 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a **35-inch swing** and an extensive **318-inch machining length**, providing substantial capacity for large and long workpieces. It is equipped with a **Fanuc 18iT CNC control system**, a robust and widely-used controller known for its high-speed processing and multi-axis capabilities. The Fanuc 18iT supports up to 12 controlled axes in typical configurations and offers rapid feed rates up to approximately 787.4 inches per minute on linear axes and 550 RPM on rotary axes, enabling efficient and precise machining cycles. The system allows for fine interpolation increments down to 0.0001 inches, spindle indexing at 0.01°, and supports complex machining tasks such as live tooling and C-axis control with AC spindle drives. The control's interface includes advanced features like programmable speed control with AC servo drives, multi-tool capability (typically 6 tools in the tool post with options for power-driven attachments), and high spindle speeds reaching up to 8000 RPM. Additional integrated systems include coolant units with flow and level detection, hydraulic power at 493 psi, and pneumatic units for auxiliary operations. The Fanuc 18iT also supports sophisticated programming including custom macro variables, tool compensation, and comprehensive I/O settings for automation readiness. This combination delivers a high-performance, versatile CNC lathe ideal for complex turning, milling, and slotting operations in medium to large-scale manufacturing environments.
