CNC Turning Center for Large Diameter Shaft Machining

Spindle bore sizes range from 6 inches up to 24.02 inches across the Clausing and FEMCO model lines. The FEMCO HL-55 NT and HL-55/1250 offer bar capacities starting at 4.53 inches, while Clausing models offer up to 24.02-inch spindle bore options for true large diameter through-bar work.

The Clausing CNC Lathe series features a hydraulic tailstock with a rotating quill, programmable and hydraulic body movement, and a 6 MT taper standard. The FEMCO HL-55 NT and HL-55/1250 are chucker-style machines with no tailstock, designed for machining parts up to 24-inch diameter without tailstock support.

All machines are equipped with FANUC CNC control as standard. The Clausing series also offers Siemens CNC control as an option on SC series models, with additional control options available. FANUC controls are chosen for their reliability, ease of programming, and broad industry acceptance in heavy-duty turning applications.

These machines are engineered for oil field and oil country lathe applications, ship building and marine, aerospace manufacturing, power utilities, military, electric motor rebuild, pump manufacturing, gearbox work, construction, and general heavy manufacturing job shops requiring large swing capacity and high precision turning.

The Clausing CNC Lathe supports up to 6,600 lbs unsupported in the chuck and up to 14,300 to 33,000 lbs between centers depending on the model. The FEMCO HL-55 series machines weigh 18,500 lbs and are built with wide wrap-around box ways for maximum rigidity when handling heavy workpieces.
