Automatic description (AI-Generated)

The COLCHESTER TORNADO 100 is a CNC lathe designed for precision machining of parts with a maximum turning diameter of 420 mm over the bed and 297 mm over the transversing slide. It offers a maximum turning length of 350 mm, with feed capacities of 180 mm on the X-axis and 350 mm on the Z-axis. The lathe is equipped with a powerful spindle motor delivering 5.5 kW continuous power and capable of reaching speeds up to 6000 rpm. The spindle bore measures 42 mm, allowing for versatile machining operations.

This machine features a 12-position turret with all tools capable of rotating, supporting efficient tool changes and complex machining tasks. The turret uses VDI 3425/30 tool holders and accommodates chisel cross-sections of 20x20 mm, with a maximum boring bar diameter of 32 mm. A tailstock is included, with a quill diameter of 63 mm and an extension of 125 mm, fitted with an MK 4 cone.

The lathe's bed is inclined at 60°, providing enhanced stability during machining. The cross slide width is 210 mm, and the machine's overall dimensions include a height of 875 mm from the spindle axis to the floor. The machine weighs approximately 2400 kg.

The control panel is located on the right side and includes a screen, keypad, and various control knobs and buttons for intuitive operation. The lathe has a blue sliding door that provides access to the workspace, which is illuminated to facilitate visibility during operation. Visible signs of wear and rust are present, particularly around the door edges and interior, which should be considered when evaluating the machine.

Additional features include a coolant tank with a capacity of 63 liters and a coolant flow rate of 45 liters per minute at 3 bar pressure. The lathe requires a power supply of 3x 380 V at 50 Hz and has an installed power of 29 kVA. The space requirement for installation is approximately 2.98 square meters.

This COLCHESTER TORNADO 100 CNC lathe is a robust and versatile machine suitable for various turning applications, combining a powerful spindle, comprehensive tooling options, and a stable, well-illuminated workspace.
