VICTOR 45280DCL CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features a **44.7-inch swing** capacity and a **280-inch machining length**, suitable for large and long workpieces. It is controlled by a **Fanuc 20-TA CNC system**, an industry-standard controller known for its reliability and extensive functionality. The Fanuc 20-TA includes a 9-inch monochrome monitor with a 44-key keypad and supports 2-axis (X and Z) digital readout, enabling precise manual and automatic control. Programming is enabled via standard G-code, with options for Custom Macro B programming and conversational graphics programming, allowing flexible and efficient part programming. The control supports absolute and incremental programming modes, inch/metric input and display, and has advanced features like backlash and ballscrew pitch error compensation using laser calibration data. The system supports six CNC operation modes including memory, edit, manual data input (MDI), machine guidance, manual/handwheel, and reference return. Additional auxiliary modes provide dry run, single block, optional block skip, manual handwheel interrupt, and auxiliary function lock for enhanced safety and operation control. The Fanuc 20-TA supports full CNC control of coolant and work lighting via M-codes, and offers 16 tool geometry and wear offset registers with tool nose radius compensation for high-precision tool management. Connectivity includes a built-in RS-232 port for program loading/unloading, and the system incorporates self-diagnostics with on-screen error messaging for efficient troubleshooting. Overall, this setup offers a robust capability for machining large parts with high accuracy and flexible CNC control.
