CLAUSING CL 45X358 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a **45-inch swing** capacity and a **machining length of 358 inches**, enabling it to handle large and long workpieces efficiently. It is equipped with the **Fanuc 18iT CNC control system**, a high-precision controller known for its advanced multi-axis control capabilities, supporting up to 12 or more axes, allowing complex machining operations with smooth and highly accurate axis synchronization. The Fanuc 18iT provides rapid feed rates for linear axes up to approximately 787 inches per minute and a spindle speed control with AC spindle drives, enabling spindle speeds up to 8000 RPM with fine indexing control down to 0.01 degrees for C-axis applications. The control system supports advanced interpolation and multi-path processing, facilitating complex turning and milling sequences with high reliability and repeatability. The system includes features such as nano interpolation for extremely fine position control, programmable spindle speed, and powerful servo drive integration for tool post and power-driven tools. The machine also incorporates coolant and hydraulic units for efficient thermal management and workholding operation. The Fanuc 18iT control interface allows setting and adjustment of numerous parameters including tool compensation, emergency stop functions, and I/O integration for peripheral devices. Combined, these specifications make the machine suitable for precise, high-volume production of large cylindrical parts requiring sophisticated CNC turning with versatile tooling configurations and excellent control responsiveness.
