CLAUSING CL 40X200 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 40-inch swing and a maximum machining length of 200 inches, making it suitable for large and long workpieces. It is controlled by the FANUC 18iT CNC system, a robust and versatile control platform designed for precision machining with multi-axis capability. The FANUC 18iT supports advanced functions such as fast interpolation, extensive axis synchronization, and sophisticated tool compensation, enhancing machining efficiency and accuracy. This controller typically handles up to 12 controlled axes, enabling complex multi-axis machining tasks, and includes functions for emergency stop, overtravel prevention, and position detection for full-closed loop control. The system supports inch/metric conversion and offers precise motion increments down to 0.001 mm (0.0001"), ensuring high repeatability and surface finish quality. The CNC drives spindles with power ranging from 1.5 to 2.2 kW, capable of spindle speeds up to 6,000 RPM or higher, suitable for a wide range of rotary and live tooling operations. The control interface includes user-friendly parameter setting modes and Ethernet connectivity for integrated shop floor communication. Its modular design supports integration with automation elements like bar feeders and sub spindles. Combined, this lathe and FANUC 18iT control system provide a powerful solution for high-precision, high-volume turning applications requiring long and large diameter work envelopes.
