Features

Powerful G.E. Fanuc spindle drive gives acceleration time of 2 sec. to top speed
New generation G.E. Fanuc ‘B’ Series 21i TB CNC control system with ‘Manual Guide i’ has twice the processing speed as the ‘A’ series
Twelve station high speed turret
Quick changeover and set-up with VDI tooling
High performance slideway and carriageway assemblies
One of the smallest footprint of any machine in its range
High quality hydraulic chucking system
Massive cast iron 60° bed with precision ground surfaces is mounted on an extra heavy-duty unstressed, fabricated Duo-stable™ engineered base, designed for strength, vibration absorption and thermal and mechanical stability. As a result, the Tornado is over 20 percent heavier than comparable machines.
Easy installation and set-up...The base design allows easy fork lift access and the three point floor mount allows quick set-up, no leveling required
Optional CAM system software package, designed to run on virtually any PC
