CLAUSING METOSA 15"VS HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Clausing Metosa 15"VS is a 2-axis horizontal machining center engineered for precision turning and facing operations. This machine accommodates workpieces up to 8.25 inches in diameter with a maximum turning length of 65 inches, making it suitable for medium-scale production runs. The main spindle delivers 2,300 RPM at 7.50 HP, providing balanced cutting power for steel and cast iron materials. With a maximum swing of 15.88 inches, the machine enables access to larger diameter workpieces for facing and chamfering operations. The slide-type primary tool carrier accommodates a single cutting tool, allowing sequential operations without tool changes. The machine features X-axis travel of 12 inches and Z-axis travel of 45 inches (expandable to 65 inches), offering flexibility for various part lengths and configurations. The 2-axis CNC control enables automated linear interpolation for efficient roughing and finishing cycles. This horizontal spindle orientation facilitates superior chip evacuation and coolant delivery compared to vertical configurations, extending tool life and improving surface finish quality. The machine is ideal for job shops and manufacturers requiring reliable turning capabilities with repeatable precision for complex geometries, particularly where chip removal efficiency and workpiece accessibility are critical production factors.
