CLAUSING CL 40X240 CNC LATHE

This CNC lathe features a 40-inch swing and a 240-inch machining length, designed for high-precision turning of large workpieces. The machine is equipped with a Fanuc 18iT CNC control system, providing advanced programming, diagnostics, and operational capabilities. The Fanuc 18iT controller supports multi-axis control, enabling complex machining operations with high accuracy and repeatability. The control system offers comprehensive I/O functionality, including RS-232 serial communication for program transfer and external device integration, configurable via system parameters such as baud rate (typically set to 9600 bps), stop bits, and data bits. The CNC interface supports standard handshaking protocols (RTS/CTS) for reliable data exchange. The system also features unified control of I/O channels, automatic EIA/ISO code detection, and flexible parameter settings for optimizing communication and machine performance. The Fanuc 18iT provides a user-friendly interface with efficient program management, tool compensation, and alarm handling, ensuring streamlined operation and minimal downtime. The controller supports a wide range of machining cycles, custom macros, and advanced interpolation functions for enhanced productivity. With robust servo and spindle control, the machine delivers smooth motion and precise positioning throughout the entire machining envelope. The integrated diagnostics and maintenance features facilitate quick troubleshooting and system upkeep. This lathe is suitable for demanding industrial applications requiring long-bed turning, high accuracy, and reliable CNC control.
