Features
Storm T6MS and T8MS 5 Axis CNC Lathes are true ‘Single-hit’  turning centers with the addition of a powerful sub spindle and controlled from the state-of-the-art G.E. Fanuc 18i TB control for 5 axis programming. ‘MS’ models have all the machine design features as the 2 & 3 axis models and add production flexibility with a sub-spindle and live tooling...  
  • The addition of the sub spindle allows ‘Single-hit’ machining. By transferring the workpiece to the sub spindle for additional turning and milling, the part can be completed in a single operation

  • Storm T6MS and T8MS offer milling power for both radial and axial milling, drilling, boring and tapping operations on either spindle

  • The sub spindle is driven by a powerful 7.5 hp drive motor on the T6MS and 10 hp drive motor on the T8MS

  • High speed turning: up to 6000 rpm on T6MS models and 5000 rpm on T8MS models

  • Sub-spindle chuck and collet capacity: 5.1" chuck and 1.3" collet on T6MS models and 6.69" chuck and 1.69" collet on T8MS models 

  • Storm ‘MS’ models are 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 on T6MS models and VDI 40 on T8MS models

  • 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.
