CLAUSING CL 45X437 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

The Hanwha SL-12S is a precision 5-axis CNC Swiss-type lathe equipped with a FANUC 18iT controller, designed for high-precision small-part machining. This machine features a maximum machining diameter of 12mm (.472") and maximum drilling diameter of 7mm, making it ideal for intricate component production. The machine delivers exceptional spindle performance with a main spindle speed of 12,000 RPM and 1.5/2.2 kW drive capability, while the sub-spindle operates at 6,000 RPM with .65/1.1 kW power. The FANUC 18iT CNC control provides advanced multi-axis coordination with configurable parameters for precise axis management and data I/O operations. Both spindles accommodate workpieces up to 12mm diameter, enabling simultaneous machining operations. The control system offers exceptional precision with minimum input and motion increments of .001mm (.0001"), ensuring tight tolerances required for critical applications. The machine includes comprehensive live tooling capabilities, a C-axis for rotational positioning, and a Y-axis for enhanced geometric flexibility. A bar feeder is integrated for automated material handling, improving production efficiency and reducing cycle times. Weighing 4,200 lbs, the SL-12S provides robust stability for vibration-free operation. The FANUC 18iT controller supports advanced features including nano interpolation, full-closed control with pulse coders, and flexible I/O configuration for seamless integration into manufacturing environments. This combination of precision, automation, and control sophistication makes the machine suitable for aerospace, medical device, and automotive component production where dimensional accuracy and repeatability are critical.
