CLAUSING CL 35X62 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

The Hanwha SL-12S is a precision 5-axis CNC Swiss-type lathe featuring FANUC 18iT control technology designed for high-precision machining operations. With a maximum swing of 35 inches and machining length of 62 inches, this machine accommodates mid-sized workpieces for complex turning and milling applications. The dual-spindle configuration delivers exceptional versatility, with the main spindle operating at 12,000 RPM (1.5/2.2 KW drive) and a sub-spindle at 6,000 RPM (0.65/1.1 KW drive), enabling simultaneous front and back machining operations. The machine handles maximum drilling diameters of 7mm on the main spindle and 12mm on the sub-spindle, with precision linear motion increments of 0.001mm (0.0001"). The FANUC 18iT CNC controller provides advanced multi-axis interpolation capabilities, supporting up to 5 controlled axes with specialized positioning and contouring functions. Integration of live tooling and a C-axis expansion enables programmable tool positioning and rotational axis control, enhancing machining flexibility. The machine includes a bar feeder system for automated material handling, reducing setup time and operator intervention. With comprehensive I/O capabilities supporting Ethernet and serial communication protocols, the FANUC 18iT enables seamless integration into modern manufacturing environments. The 4,200-pound construction ensures rigid support for precision operations. Originally manufactured in 2002, this machine represents mature Swiss-type lathe technology suitable for production runs requiring tight tolerances and complex geometries.
