CLAUSING CL 40X358 CNC LATHES

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a 40-inch swing and an extensive 358-inch maximum machining length, enabling the accommodation and precise machining of large-diameter and long workpieces. It is equipped with a Fanuc 18iT CNC control, a highly reliable and widely used industrial controller known for its advanced multi-axis support, high-speed processing, and flexible programmability. The Fanuc 18iT allows precise control of complex machining operations, supporting features such as nano interpolation for enhanced accuracy, and multiple axis control capabilities (typically up to 12-20 controlled axes depending on configuration). The control system includes communication options such as RS232 and supports high input/output point counts, facilitating integration with various peripherals like bar feeders and live tooling. The CNC system’s parameterization enables fine adjustment of increments down to 0.001 mm (0.0001”), assuring machining precision. The Fanuc 18iT control supports various functions necessary for sophisticated turning, drilling, and milling operations on a lathe, including spindle speed control up to 6,000 to 12,000 RPM (depending on spindle configuration), axis synchronization, and custom macro programming. Overall, this machine suits high-precision, large-format turning applications in demanding industrial environments, offering a combination of robust mechanical capacity and flexible, high-performance CNC control.
