Technical Description
This industrial CNC lathe features a robust swing capacity of 39.76 inches and a maximum machining length of 360 inches, making it ideal for large-scale turning operations. Equipped with the FANUC 20-TA control system, it delivers reliable and precise machining performance. The FANUC 20-TA is an industry-standard CNC control featuring a 9-inch monochrome monitor and a 44-key keypad, supporting 2-axis digital readout and simultaneous interpolation for accurate part production. The control system enables full CNC G-code programming, including Custom Macro B (optional), background editing during program execution (optional), and conversational graphics programming for simplified operation. Multiple operation modes—MEM, EDIT, MDI, Mchn Gdnce, Man/Hndwl, and Ref Return—are available, along with auxiliary modes such as Dry Run, Single Block, Optional Block Skip, Manual Handwheel Interrupt, and Auxiliary Function Lock. The system supports both manual and automatic operation, with teach-in and playback functionalities for efficient setup and production. Intelligent travel limits, backlash compensation, and constant surface speed (CSS) control enhance machining accuracy and tool life. Programming flexibility is provided through diameter/radius, absolute/incremental, and inch/metric input options. The control also features an on-line calculator for data input, easy one-touch X-Z part coordinate system setting, and full CNC control of coolant and work light functions via M-codes. The system supports three coordinate systems: Machine, Absolute, and Relative. Designed for versatility and durability, this lathe is well-suited for heavy-duty machining tasks in demanding industrial environments.
