Technical Description
This CNC lathe features a robust design with a 44.7-inch swing and an 80-inch machining length, making it ideal for a wide range of turning applications, including large-diameter and long-part production. The machine is equipped with a Fanuc 20-TA CNC control system, a reliable and industry-standard control known for its precision and ease of operation. The Fanuc 20-TA offers a 9-inch monochrome monitor and a 44-key keypad, supporting 2-axis digital readout and simultaneous interpolation for accurate and efficient machining. It provides full CNC G-code functionality, multiple operation modes (MEM, EDIT, MDI, Mchn Gdnce, Man/Hndwl, Ref Return), and auxiliary modes such as Dry Run, Single Block, and Optional Block Skip. The control supports both manual and automatic operation, including teach-in and playback functions, and features intelligent travel limits, backlash compensation, and conversational graphics programming. Users can select between diameter and radius programming, as well as absolute and incremental modes, with seamless inch/metric input and display. The Fanuc 20-TA also includes 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—and offers optional features such as Custom Macro B programming and background editing. With its combination of advanced control capabilities and robust mechanical design, this lathe delivers high productivity, accuracy, and flexibility for demanding industrial machining tasks.
