Used COLCHESTER TORNADO 100 CNC LATHE — sold (CNC Turning Centers)

The Colchester TORNADO 100 is a slant bed CNC turning center designed for precise metal cutting operations. Engineered with a compact footprint, it features a maximum turning diameter of 186 mm, a maximum turning length of 350 mm, and a swing over bed of 420 mm. The distance between centers is 380 mm, providing solid capacity for a variety of shaft and chucking workpieces. The machine is equipped with a 300 mm chuck and delivers axis travels of 180 mm in X and 350 mm in Z. To balance rigidity and smooth motion, it utilizes Box guideways on the X-axis and Linear Motion (LM) guideways on the Z-axis. At the core of the spindle system is an A2-5 spindle nose with a 61 mm spindle bore. Driven by a 5.5 / 7.5 kW spindle motor, the spindle achieves a maximum rotation speed of 4000 RPM, allowing efficient turning across various materials. Machine motion and operational control are managed by a Fanuc OT CNC system paired with Alpha Drives, ensuring reliable program execution and precise axis positioning. Tooling flexibility is provided by a 12-station turret using the VDI 30 interface, enabling quick setup and indexed tool changes for complex turning, facing, and boring sequences. The inclusion of a tailstock offers essential support when machining longer components across the 350 mm Z-axis travel. With a total machine weight of 2.5 tons, the structural frame maintains stability during continuous industrial operation. Given its work envelope and spindle specifications, the Colchester TORNADO 100 is suitable for manufacturing small to medium-sized precision components, automotive fittings, bushings, and general engineered parts. This used machine has been imported and inspected, and is available for sale through Corel Machinery in India, with worldwide shipping options available upon request.
