CLAUSING CL 45X160 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

The Star Fanuc 18i-T CNC lathe represents an advanced turning center designed for high-precision manufacturing operations. This machine features a 45-inch swing capacity, accommodating larger workpieces while maintaining a 160-inch machining length for extended turning operations. The control system utilizes the FANUC 18i-T CNC platform, an ultra-compact, ultra-thin integrated controller featuring LCD display and network capabilities. The machine delivers rapid feed rates up to 787.4 inches per minute on linear axes (Z, X, Y, ZB, XB) and 550 RPM on the C-axis. The main spindle operates continuously at 3 HP with burst capability up to 5 HP for 15-minute intervals at 50% duty cycle. Power-driven tool attachments achieve maximum speeds of 8000 RPM, controlled via AC servo drive technology. The 7-axis configuration includes a sub-spindle with speeds ranging from 500-8000 RPM and AC spindle drive control, enabling simultaneous multi-axis operations. The tool post accommodates six standard tools with provisions for four sleeves and three to eight power-driven attachments for cross-milling operations. Supporting systems include a 40.9-gallon coolant unit with level and flow detection, a 2.6-gallon hydraulic power unit operating at 493 psi, and pneumatic systems at 72.5 psi. The control architecture supports up to 12 controlled axes in multi-path configurations with full parameter customization capabilities. This integrated package delivers production-ready performance for complex turned components requiring simultaneous multi-axis finishing operations.
