CLAUSING CL 40X62 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe machine features a **40-inch swing** capacity and a **62-inch machining length**, making it suitable for turning and machining medium to large-sized cylindrical workpieces. It is equipped with a **Fanuc 18iT CNC control system**, renowned for its robust 2-axis and multi-axis control capabilities, enabling precise, high-speed machining operations with advanced interpolations and programmable motion control. The Fanuc 18iT controller supports high spindle speeds up to 6,000–12,000 RPM depending on setup, with micro-step increments as low as 0.001mm, allowing ultra-fine positional accuracy and surface finish quality. This controller also offers extensive connectivity options including RS232 communications for program transfer and integration with peripheral devices, enhancing automation and workflow efficiency. The machine is suited for complex turning applications requiring live tooling and sub-spindle features, enabled by the Fanuc 18iT’s flexible architecture and customizable I/O parameters. Robust spindle drives ranging from 1.5 to 2.2 kW power deliver consistent torque over the machine’s operational envelope. The system includes safety features such as emergency stop and overtravel protection managed via the CNC parameters. Overall, this lathe combines a substantial machining envelope with a sophisticated, reliable Fanuc 18iT CNC control platform, making it ideal for precision manufacturing processes in automotive, aerospace, and general engineering sectors.
