FUJI VN-40T CNC LATHE

Technical Description

A 2-axis CNC lathe represents a fundamental platform in precision machining, equipped with FANUC 18I-TA control technology. This machine operates on two linear axes—the X-axis controlling radial movement for diameter adjustments and the Z-axis managing longitudinal tool travel along the workpiece. With a maximum spindle speed of 1,800 RPM, this configuration is optimized for heavy-duty turning operations requiring sustained torque and cutting force. The 18.6 kW power output delivers consistent energy for demanding turning applications, enabling efficient removal of material from ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The FANUC 18I-TA control system provides reliable CNC programming and automated machine functions, ensuring repeatable accuracy and reduced manual intervention. This architecture excels for cylindrical and symmetrical components, producing consistent parts with tight tolerances through synchronized X and Z-axis motion. Ideal for medium to large-diameter component manufacturing, the 2-axis configuration minimizes complexity while maximizing rigidity and thermal stability. The lower RPM specification suits materials requiring higher cutting forces, such as ductile iron, aluminum, and stainless steel. With gang tooling capability and multi-position turrets, this machine efficiently handles production runs of simple to moderately complex geometries. Cell manufacturing integration is straightforward due to the compact design and gang-tooled slide systems that enhance structural rigidity. The 2-axis platform delivers production-level efficiency for shops prioritizing reliability and straightforward operation over multi-axis versatility, making it suitable for dedicated turning centers handling high-volume component production with consistent quality.
