CLAUSING CL 35X397 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 35-inch swing and a machining length of 398 inches, designed for high-precision turning operations on large workpieces. 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 of up to 787.4 inches per minute on linear axes and a maximum spindle speed of 8,000 RPM. The C-axis offers indexing down to 0.01° for precise rotational control, and the sub-spindle operates from 500 to 8,000 RPM, supporting versatile backworking and secondary operations. The machine is powered by a 3 HP continuous (5 HP intermittent) main spindle motor and an AC spindle drive for smooth, responsive performance. The tool post accommodates up to 6 tools, with 4 sleeve positions and 3 to 8 power-driven tools, including standard cross-milling capability. The coolant system features a 40.9-gallon capacity and includes level and flow detectors for safety and efficiency. Hydraulic and pneumatic units provide stable operation, with a hydraulic pressure of 493 psi and pneumatic pressure of 72.5 psi. The machine also includes a part conveyor and optional live backworking tools for enhanced productivity. The Fanuc 18iT control offers comprehensive diagnostics, emergency stop, overtravel protection, and support for inch/metric conversion and nano interpolation. This lathe is ideal for demanding production environments requiring high accuracy, flexibility, and reliability in large-part machining applications.
