CLAUSING METOSA 20"SS HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Clausing Metosa 20"SS is a 2-axis horizontal machining center designed for precision turning operations on cylindrical workpieces. The machine features a primary spindle with a maximum turning diameter capacity of 12.750 inches and an extended turning length of up to 124 inches, accommodating lengthy components. The main spindle operates at 1,500 RPM with 10 horsepower output, providing consistent torque for heavy-duty cutting applications. The machine's maximum swing capability of 20.880 inches allows for the accommodation of large-diameter workpieces. The horizontal configuration utilizes a slide-type primary tool carrier with single-tool simultaneous cutting capability, enabling efficient single-point turning operations. With 14 inches of X-axis travel and standard 45 inches of Z-axis travel (expandable to 124 inches as an option), the machine offers substantial working envelope flexibility. The 2-axis control system provides automated positioning for repeatable, high-precision work. The slide tool carrier design ensures rigidity and accuracy during cutting operations, particularly beneficial for production runs requiring dimensional consistency. This machine is well-suited for manufacturing applications including shaft turning, journal finishing, and precision cylindrical component production across automotive, industrial, and specialty manufacturing sectors.
