CLAUSING EL 20/24 GH HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Clausing EL 20/24 GH is a horizontal machining center engineered for precision turning and milling operations. It features a robust single main spindle capable of handling workpieces up to 24.380" in diameter with a maximum turning length of 137.250" and a swing capacity of 30.750". The spindle operates at 1,500 RPM with 10 HP output, delivering consistent power for demanding production runs. The machine accommodates up to 12 turning tools via an automatic slide-type tool carrier, with one simultaneous cutting tool capability for efficient tool management. The CNC-controlled two-axis system provides X-axis travel of 12.750" (expandable to 16.750"), Y-axis capability, and Z-axis travel of 45.000" (expandable to 137.250"), enabling versatile workpiece positioning. All axes achieve rapid traverse rates of 200 ipm and maximum feed rates of 118 ipm, ensuring optimal cycle times and surface finishes. The machine's horizontal configuration facilitates efficient chip evacuation and coolant management, while its rigid construction supports tight tolerances required in high-precision applications. Ideal for job shops, toolrooms, and production environments, the EL 20/24 GH combines Clausing's century-plus manufacturing expertise with modern CNC capabilities for reliable, repeatable results on complex turning and milling tasks.
