FUJI ANS-3100 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This lathe features a robust CNC control system powered by a FANUC 18-ITA controller, a proven industrial-grade system designed for precision machining operations. The machine is equipped with 19.98 horsepower, providing substantial cutting force for demanding turning applications across various materials and workpiece sizes. With a maximum spindle speed of 4000 RPM, the lathe accommodates both high-speed finishing operations and lower-speed heavy-duty roughing passes, offering operational flexibility for diverse production requirements. The inclusion of a tailstock enables through-hole drilling, extended workpiece support, and live center operations, significantly expanding the machine's capability for complex turning tasks and improving part accuracy on longer components. The FANUC 18-ITA CNC controller delivers advanced programming functionality with support for ISO and EIA code formats, multi-axis interpolation, and custom macro capabilities. This control system facilitates efficient program transfer through configurable serial communication with standard baud rate settings (9600 baud default), allowing seamless integration with modern manufacturing environments and CAM software workflows. The 18-ITA platform supports comprehensive parameter adjustment for I/O operations, enabling rapid program editing, verification, and optimization without requiring external equipment. Integrated diagnostics and parameter management streamline troubleshooting and maintenance procedures, reducing downtime. The combination of substantial power delivery, moderate spindle speed range, extended workpiece support via tailstock, and advanced CNC control makes this machine suitable for precision production turning, prototype development, and specialized machining applications requiring reliable performance and programming flexibility in job shop and production environments.
