CLAUSING METOSA 20" CNC HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Clausing Metosa 20" CNC Horizontal Machining Center is a precision turning center engineered for medium-duty production work. This machine features a single main spindle with an 18.2-inch maximum turning diameter and 80-inch turning length capacity, accommodating workpieces up to 20.86 inches in swing over an 18-inch chuck. Operating at 2,500 RPM with 15 horsepower, the spindle delivers consistent performance across a range of materials and operations. The machine utilizes an 8-station power turret tool carrier, enabling rapid tool changes for sequential turning operations with single-point simultaneous cutting capability. The dual-axis configuration (X and Z) provides coordinated movement with impressive feed rates of 276 IPM and rapid traverse speeds of 393 IPM on both axes, ensuring efficient cycle times and reduced nonproductive machine time. The X-axis travel spans 12.4 inches while the Z-axis offers a standard 40-inch stroke with an optional 80-inch extension for extended workpiece lengths. This CNC configuration combines traditional lathe functionality with modern computer numerical control precision, making it well-suited for high-volume turning applications requiring repeatable accuracy and consistent surface finishes. The machine's compact footprint and moderate spindle power make it ideal for job shops and contract manufacturers processing medium-sized components where versatility and reliability are essential operational requirements.
