CLAUSING EL 15/17 CS HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Clausing EL 15/17 CS is a heavy-duty horizontal machining center designed for precision turning and multi-axis operations. It features a single main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 16.130 inches and turning length of 65.000 inches, capable of achieving a maximum swing of 17.690 inches. The spindle operates at 2,300 RPM with 7.5 HP output, providing adequate power for demanding cutting applications. The machine accommodates up to 12 turning tools on an automatic slide-type tool carrier, with one simultaneous cutting tool engagement. The two-axis CNC control system delivers X-axis travel of 8.250 inches (expandable to 10.130 inches) and Z-axis travel of 45.000 inches (expandable to 65.000 inches), enabling flexible workpiece positioning and extended turning capabilities. All three axes—X, Y, and Z—share consistent maximum feed rates of 118 inches per minute and rapid traverse rates of 200 inches per minute, ensuring efficient cycle times and smooth motion transitions. The combination of substantial spindle swing capacity, extended Z-axis travel options, and rapid traverse capabilities makes this machine suitable for high-volume production runs and complex turning operations requiring extended workpiece lengths and reliable tool management.
