CLAUSING METOSA 22"PIPE HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Clausing Metosa 22" Pipe Horizontal Machining Center is a robust two-axis turning system engineered for high-precision pipe and cylindrical component machining. This machine features dual main spindles, each rated at 10 horsepower with 750 RPM capabilities, enabling efficient production of large-diameter workpieces up to 14.630 inches in turning diameter. The extended maximum turning length of 124 inches accommodates extended pipe work and lengthy components, while the 22.880-inch maximum swing provides substantial capacity for oversized stock. The machine incorporates a slide-type primary tool carrier with single-tool simultaneous cutting capability, optimizing cutting efficiency through rapid indexing and tool change operations. Motion control is governed by two axes: the X-axis delivers 15 inches of travel for radial positioning, while the Z-axis provides up to 64 inches of standard travel, with an optional extended 124-inch configuration for maximum workpiece lengths. The horizontal spindle orientation facilitates gravity-assisted chip evacuation and enhanced workholding stability for heavy-duty production runs. This configuration makes the Clausing Metosa 22" particularly suitable for manufacturing pipe fittings, flanges, bushings, and similar cylindrical components requiring precision turning operations on large-diameter material. The dual-spindle architecture allows for either simultaneous dual-spindle operations or independent sequential processing, providing manufacturing flexibility and improved throughput in job shop and production environments.
