CLAUSING CL 40X397 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a **40-inch swing** capability and a **machining length of 397 inches**, enabling it to handle large-diameter and long parts with precision. It is equipped with the **Fanuc 18iT CNC control system**, known for its robust performance and versatility in complex machining operations. The Fanuc 18iT supports multi-axis control (up to 7 axes), high-speed rapid feed rates reaching approximately 787.4 inches per minute on linear axes and 550 RPM on rotary axes, which ensures efficient machining cycles and precise tool positioning. It incorporates fine incremental control with minimum input increments as low as 0.0001 inches and spindle indexing accuracy to 0.01°, enabling complex contouring and rotational positioning. The system features an AC spindle drive, delivering continuous spindle motor power of 3 HP (with peak up to 5 HP) and spindle speeds up to 8000 RPM for high-speed turning applications. Tooling options include multiple tool posts supporting standard and power-driven attachments for milling and drilling integrated into turning operations. Cooling and hydraulic units are built-in with capacities optimized for stable machining conditions—40.9 gallons for coolant and 2.6 gallons hydraulic capacity with regulated pressures ensuring operational safety and consistency. Additional features include live tooling/spindles, part conveyors, and advanced CNC functions such as rotary axis control and macro programming, facilitating complex component manufacturing with high accuracy and repeatability. The integrated Fanuc 18iT control supports synchronized multi-axis movements and advanced CNC features, ensuring reliable, high-performance machining for demanding industrial applications.
