Turnado 280x2000

• The Turnado V Series Universal Lathes are widely tested and proven and our definite bestsellers with a low price and lasting high value

Machine bed

• A heavily ribbed machine bed, rigid headstock and a massive one-piece thick-walled cast-iron stand form a solid machine base for efficient and precisely machining
• A removable bridge allows machining of short workpieces with very large diameters
• The wide v-block guideways are hardened and ground for lasting precision

Headstock/ feed gear

• The powerful motor features a modern variable frequency drive, and the two-step main spindle gear ensures high torque across the entire infinitely variable speed range
• The Turnado 230 V series features an extended maximum speed range and a wider application spectrum
• All gears and shafts are hardened and ground and run in an enclosed oil bath
• The large spindle capacity allows clamping of shafts and tubes with large diameters
• The high quality spindle support features optimum rigidity and preloading for high precision even under high radial and axial loads as well as long lasting performance
• A 3-jaw lathe chuck with hard reversible jaws, a 4-jaw independent chuck, and a face plate with large diameter are included in the machine’s standard equipment
• The user-friendly control panel facilitates rapid user familiarization and intuitive operation
• The feed gear offers a large number of thread leads for metric and Withworth tapping

Support

• The support is designed extra-wide and can easily handle high machining forces
• The control lever for the feed switch and apron nut provide automatic safety interlocking and reliably prevent operational errors
• The stop spindle features four adjustable cams to provide automatic linear feed shut-off
• This way, repetitive machining processes with different Z axis positions can be simplified by presetting the desired positions in the necessary sequence
• The micrometer bed stop can be used to set precise travel distance limits
• The slip coupling for the automatic feed is positioned centrally on the apron for easy adjustments
• The thread gauge and support allow reliable determination of the pitch after an interrupted tapping process, and also simplifies machining of multi-lead threads
• The top slide swivels and has large, easy to read scaling
• The large, swiveling safety cover at the support protects the user and keeps the work space clean
• A central lubrication system at the support supplies all guideways with lubrication and simplifies maintenance

Tailstock

• The tailstock quill is equipped with a robust and easy to read scale
• The long quill stroke allows for complex drilling and centering jobs
• The tailstock can be adjusted laterally for machining of conical shafts

Accessories

• The standard brake pedal is not only practical, but also a safety feature
• A large and sturdy splash guard an the rear of the machine ensures a clean machine environment
• A bright LED light is integrated in the support cover for optimum lighting throughout the work space
• The multi-functional quick-action tool changer system with tool changer cartridge is included in the standard equipment of this series
• A steady and a live rest are a must for long workpieces and also included in the standard package
• The Turnado Lathe is equipped with the latest generation of our position indicators. Ensures high work precision, lower error rate, and increased operator safety
• Extended X.Pos Position Indicator functionality with the addition of the “V-constant” function
• During facing, the spindle speed is automatically adapted to the changing workpiece diameters, resulting in a surface quality that is comparable to the surface grade achieved with CNC lathes
• A coolant system and extensive operating tools complete the equipment package
