COLCHESTER TORNADO 110 CNC turning center

COLCHESTER TORNADO 110 CNC turning center was built in England in 1998. The machine, designed for precision machining of workpieces with a maximum diameter of 420 mm, features a fully illuminated work space that includes among others a 12-position turret and an extremely powerful spindle. The inclined bed by 60° ensures excellent stability of the process, during even the most intense challenges. On top of this, the intuitive GE FANUC Series 21i-T CNC control allows advanced machining programmes to be created in just a few steps. The TORNADO 110 CNC lathe weighs 2400 kg.
