CNC Lathe for Oil Field Component Machining

The maximum swing over bed available is 80 inches, offered by both the Clausing CNC Lathe and FEMCO HL-55 series models. Entry-level models such as the FEMCO HL-250 provide a 20.6-inch swing. This wide range allows customers to match the machine to their specific workpiece diameter requirements.

Most machines in the lineup run FANUC CNC controls, including the FANUC Oi and FANUC 35i. The Clausing CNC Lathe also offers Siemens CNC control as an option on the SC series. FANUC controls are widely preferred in oil field machining for their reliability, ease of programming, and extensive service network.

Yes. The FEMCO HL-55 series and Femco CNC Lathe are specifically engineered for heavy cutting and interrupted cuts. Their wide wrap-around box ways combined with a FANUC 35 HP spindle motor and two-speed ZF gearbox deliver the rigidity and power needed to maintain long-term accuracy on demanding oil field workpieces.

Yes. The Clausing CNC Lathe series includes a hydraulic tailstock with a rotating quill (6 MT taper standard, 9.25-inch quill diameter) and programmable hydraulic body movement, ideal for supporting long shafts and drill string components. FEMCO HL-55 chucker-style models are designed for shorter workpieces that do not require tailstock support.

The Clausing CNC Lathe series supports a maximum weight between centers ranging from 14,300 to 33,000 lbs depending on the model, with maximum unsupported chuck weight of 6,600 lbs. The FEMCO HL-55 series weighs 18,500 lbs as a machine, underscoring its heavy-duty construction for large-mass oil field workpieces.

All machines come with delivery, professional installation by trained service engineers, and user training. The Clausing series includes leveling screws and pads, a one-year warranty backed by the Clausing Service Center, and an automatic lubrication system. FEMCO machines are delivered, installed, and warranted by T.R. Wigglesworth Machinery Company directly.
