CLAUSING CL 50X200 CNC LATHE

This CNC lathe features a **50-inch swing** and a **200-inch machining length**, enabling it to handle large workpieces with significant diameter and length capacity. It is controlled by the **Fanuc 18iT CNC system**, a robust and widely used controller known for its reliability and comprehensive control capabilities, including support for up to 12 axes and advanced functions such as threading, high-speed positioning, and spindle control. The Fanuc 18iT supports high-speed spindle rotation up to 10,000 RPM, provides precise feed rates (up to approximately 787.4 inches/min rapid traverse on linear axes), and incorporates detailed spindle control including indexing with 0.01° resolution on the C-axis, enabling complex multi-axis machining tasks. The system allows fine input increments down to 0.0001 inches and supports simultaneous axis control, making it suitable for precision turning operations. It includes multiple tool posts with power-driven tools capable of speeds up to 8,000 RPM for milling or drilling operations on the lathe. The controller ensures smooth and precise motion through AC servo drives for the spindle and live tools, and integrates coolant capacity to maintain temperature control during machining. Overall, this machine is designed for versatile, large-scale, high-precision CNC turning operations, with a powerful control platform that supports complex tool paths, multiple tool stations, and sophisticated spindle functions.
