VICTOR 35160DCL CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a **34.6-inch swing diameter** and a **machining length of 160 inches**, making it suited for large and long workpieces. It is equipped with the **FANUC 20-TA CNC control system**, a reliable and established control known for precision and versatile machining capabilities. The FANUC 20-TA includes a **9-inch monochrome monitor** and a **44-key keypad**, supporting 2-axis digital readouts (X and Z axes) for accurate positioning. It offers multiple operation modes such as memory, edit, manual data input (MDI), and manual handwheel control, enabling easy programming and adjustment. Advanced programming features include **custom Macro B programming** for G-code, **background editing**, and **conversational graphics programming**. The control supports **absolute and incremental programming** with inch/metric unit flexibility, and provides **constant surface speed (CSS) control** during manual and automatic turns. Enhancements like **tool radius compensation, backlash error compensation, and ballscrew pitch error compensation** improve machining accuracy. The CNC enables **full control over coolant and work light functions** through M-codes and has **self-diagnostics** with error messaging to improve machine uptime. It also incorporates **RS-232 communication** for program loading and storage of up to 63 part programs. Overall, this lathe and CNC control package provides robust capabilities for precision turning operations on large, challenging components requiring extended machining lengths.
