FUJI ANS-31P CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features an 8-inch chuck and operates on 2 axes (X and Z), enabling precise control over diameter and length dimensions of workpieces. Powered by a robust 10 HP motor, it achieves spindle speeds up to 3,500 RPM, suitable for turning parts up to a maximum diameter of 7.9 inches and a swing of 16.5 inches. The machine lacks a tailstock, live tooling, and sub spindle, focusing on efficient 2-axis turning operations without complex multitasking capabilities. Controlled by a Fanuc 18i-LNB CNC system, it offers reliable and accurate programmable control for consistent, repeatable machining performance. The lathe’s overall dimensions are 75" (length) x 69" (width) x 86" (height), with a substantial weight of 7,000 lbs, reflecting its rigid construction for stable, vibration-free cutting. This setup is ideal for manufacturing medium-sized cylindrical parts with precision, benefiting from the CNC control's high repeatability and accuracy typically within ±0.0005 inches. The lack of live tooling and sub spindle means it is optimized for turning rather than milling or multi-function machining. Its power and speed specifications allow for machining a variety of materials, from metals to plastics, with high efficiency. This machine suits applications where robust power, basic 2-axis control, and precision are required, such as producing shafts, bushings, and symmetrical components in moderate volumes.
