CLAUSING CL 45X318 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

The Hanwha SL-12S is a precision 5-axis CNC Swiss-type lathe equipped with a FANUC 18iT control system. This machine features a maximum machining diameter of 12mm (.472") with a maximum drilling diameter of 7mm, making it ideal for high-precision small-part production. The main spindle operates at 12,000 RPM with a 1.5/2.2 KW drive, while the sub-spindle reaches 6,000 RPM with a .65/1.1 KW drive, enabling simultaneous operations on multiple workpiece surfaces. The unit incorporates live tooling, a C-axis, and Y-axis functionality for complex geometries and secondary operations. With a minimum input and motion increment of .001mm (.0001"), the machine delivers exceptional positional accuracy suitable for medical, aerospace, and watchmaking applications. The integrated bar feeder automates stock feeding, improving throughput and reducing operator intervention. The FANUC 18iT controller provides advanced CNC capabilities including multi-axis interpolation, comprehensive parameter control, and communication options via RS232. Weighing 4,200 lbs, this 2002-era machine combines Japanese engineering reliability with modern CNC control functionality. The five-axis configuration allows full volumetric machining capability, eliminating the need for multiple setups and reducing cycle times. This platform is particularly suited for producing miniature precision components requiring tight tolerances and complex contours in production environments.
