CLAUSING 18VS HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Clausing 18VS Horizontal Machining Center is a robust, high-performance engine lathe designed for demanding turning applications. It features a single main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 10.630 inches and a maximum turning length of 80.000 inches, supporting a swing of up to 18.100 inches. The spindle delivers 15 horsepower and operates at speeds up to 2,000 RPM, ensuring efficient material removal and precision across a wide range of workpieces. The machine is equipped with a slide-type primary tool carrier, allowing for accurate and stable tool positioning. With two axes of travel—X axis at 11.800 inches and Z axis at 40.000 inches (extendable to 80.000 inches as an option)—the 18VS provides versatile machining capabilities for both small and large components. The design supports one simultaneous cutting tool, optimizing control and accuracy during operation. Built with a heavy-duty cast iron bed and precision-ground ways, the 18VS ensures rigidity, vibration damping, and long-term accuracy. The machine’s construction emphasizes durability, chip clearance, and ease of maintenance, making it suitable for continuous production environments. Its variable speed spindle drive, combined with a wide range of feeds and threading options, enables efficient machining of various materials, including steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. The Clausing 18VS Horizontal Machining Center is engineered for reliability, precision, and productivity in industrial turning applications.
