Technical Description
This industrial CNC lathe features a robust swing capacity of 70.39 inches and a machining length of 160 inches, making it suitable for large-diameter and long-part turning operations. Equipped with the FANUC 20-TA control system, the machine delivers reliable and precise CNC functionality for demanding machining tasks. The FANUC 20-TA control includes a 9-inch monochrome monitor and a 44-key keypad, supporting 2-axis digital readout and simultaneous interpolation for accurate contouring. It provides full CNC G-code programming capabilities, multiple operation modes (MEM, EDIT, MDI, Mchn Gdnce, Man/Hndwl, Ref Return), and auxiliary functions such as Dry Run, Single Block, and Optional Block Skip. The control also supports manual and automatic operation, including teach-in and playback features, as well as manual interrupt options for handwheel and spindle control. Advanced programming options include conversational graphics, diameter/radius programming, absolute/incremental modes, and inch/metric input. The system offers intelligent travel limits, backlash compensation, and constant surface speed (CSS) control for both manual and automatic operations. Full CNC control of coolant and work light functions is available via M-codes, and optional CNC M-code-controlled power contactors allow integration with various accessories. The control supports three coordinate systems—Machine, Absolute, and Relative—ensuring flexibility in setup and operation. With its comprehensive feature set and robust construction, this lathe is ideal for high-precision, high-efficiency machining of large components in industrial environments.
