Anyone have a clue what this thing is?

It's a pre-press camera I believe.

It's a Acti Centaur Camera 54”X154” Rear Loading Vacuumized Holder.I found one of these in my back-yard when Skylab broke up.

These days it's pretty much junk, except the lenses. They could be used as enlarger lenses, or mounted in shutters and used for large format.

Is that thing a very big copy stand?

That what I thought, have you heard of Clyde Butcher he is a LF B&W photography that works out of SW Florida area, he reworked a copy camera in to a enlarger that he uses to make 4x8 foot prints
