FUJI ANS-4000 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

The FANUC 18i-TA CNC control system is a sophisticated computerized numerical control platform designed for precision machining operations on turning centers and lathes. This integrated control unit delivers robust performance capabilities suitable for production environments requiring high accuracy and repeatability. Paired with a 30 HP motor system, this configuration provides substantial cutting power for demanding machining tasks, enabling efficient material removal across various workpiece sizes and material types. The maximum spindle speed of 3000 RPM allows for optimized cutting speeds across a wide range of applications, from heavy roughing operations to precision finishing work. The FANUC 18i-TA represents the T-series lathe variant of the i-Series CNC platform, featuring advanced control architecture and comprehensive programming capabilities. The control unit integrates an LCD display (available in multiple sizes from 7.2" to 15.0"), servo interface systems, and spindle control modules. It supports synchronous feed control through guidance handwheel operation, enabling operators to manually adjust tool motion during automatic machining cycles while maintaining precise coordination. The system includes RS-232-C I/O device interfaces, built-in ethernet connectivity, and high-speed skip capabilities for modern production workflows. Parameter management is streamlined through soft-key operation, allowing technicians to configure system settings, tool data, and operational parameters efficiently. The 18i-TA architecture supports both single and two-path control configurations, accommodating complex manufacturing requirements. This combination of power, speed control, and sophisticated CNC capabilities makes it suitable for job shops, contract manufacturers, and dedicated production facilities requiring versatile turning center performance.
