Colchester Harrison Tornado

TORNADO T8MSY 6 Axis CNC Lathes are the ultimate turning centers with Y-axis machining, allowing the operator to take full advantage of the machine’s milling capability by providing ‘off center line’ machining controlled by the state-of-the-art G.E. Fanuc 18i TB control. The T8MSY has all the machine design features as the 2, 3 & 5 axis models...

In addition to the sub spindle, the T8MSY turning center offers Y-axis machining, allowing you to take full advantage of the machines milling capability by providing ‘off center line’ (±1.57" 40mm) milling for the accurate machining of keyways, flat and contoured surfaces
The sub spindle is driven by a powerful 10 hp (7.5kW) drive motor
TORNADO T8MSY offer milling power for both radial and axial milling, drilling, boring and tapping operations on either spindle
High speed turning, up to 5000 rpm
Sub-spindle has 6.7" (170mm) chuck and 1.69" (43mm) collet capacity
TORNADO ‘MSY’ is fitted with a linear scale on the X axis to maintain high accuracy even during ‘off center’ operations
Twelve station high speed bi-directional turret with 12 power stations
B & C axis positioning increment of 0.001° is fully programmable
Quick changeover and set-up with VDI 30 tooling
Optional CAM system software package, designed to run on virtually any PC, developed for more complex 5 axis programming
Available in Chucker, Barfeed and Unmanned ‘Lights-Out’ models
Ethernet Link. Allows remote access to the CNC control for part program transfer, supervisory control, data acquisition, diagnostic and maintenance functions.
