COLCHESTER TORNADO 100 CNC turning center

COLCHESTER TORNADO 100 CNC turning center built in 1995 in England is used for precision machining of workpieces with a maximum diameter of 420 mm. The machine features a large, fully illuminated workspace with a 12-position turret and an extremely powerful spindle. The 60° inclined bed ensures remarkable process stability, even during the most intense challenges. This is completed by the intuitive CNC control in which all machining programmes are created in just a few steps. The TORNADO 100 CNC lathe weighs 2400 kg.
