Features

Tornado T6M, T8M & T10M offers milling power for both radial and axial milling, drilling, boring and tapping operations
Live turret mounted tooling adds flexibility and large production gains by cutting the number of set-ups and operations
Tornado “M” models are fitted with a linear scale on the X axis to maintain high accuracy even during ‘off center’ operations
Powerful live tooling drive motor for real milling power, 5 hp on T6M & T8M, 7.5 hp on T10M
High powered tool cutting speeds, up to 5000 rpm on T6M models and 4000 rpm on T8M & T10M models
Twelve station high speed bi-directional turret with 12 powered stations on T6M & T10M models and 6 powered stations on T8M
C axis positioning increment of 0.001° is fully programmable
C axis contouring selected by M-code
Quick changeover and set-up with VDI 30 tooling on T6M models and VDI 40 on T8M & T10M models
Optional CAM system software package, designed to run on virtually any PC, developed for more complex 3 axis programming
Available in Chucker, Barfeed and Unmanned ‘Lights-Out’ models
