Features

Storm T2, T4 and T8 2 Axis CNC Lathes are precision turning machines with the state-of-the-art G.E. Fanuc 21i TB control, available in Chucking, Bar Feed and ‘Lights-Out’ Models...

  • Powerful G.E. Fanuc spindle drive gives spindle acceleration time of 2 sec. to top speed

  • New generation G.E. Fanuc ‘B’ Series 21i TB CNC control system with ‘Manual Guide i’ has twice the processing speed as the ‘A’ series

  • Twelve station high speed turret

  • Quick changeover and set-up with VDI tooling

  • Axis torque monitoring and crash detection

  • High performance slideway and carriageway assemblies

  • One of the smallest footprint of any machine in its range

  • High quality hydraulic chucking system

  • Massive cast iron 60° bed with precision ground surfaces is mounted on an extra heavy-duty unstressed, filled fabricated Duo-stable™ engineered base, designed for strength, vibration absorption and thermal and mechanical stability. As a result, the STORM is over 20 percent heavier than comparable machines.

  • Easy installation and set-up...The base design allows easy fork lift access and the three point floor mount allows quick set-up, no leveling required

  • Optional CAM system software package, designed to run on virtually any PC
The Storm T2, T4 and T8 are equipped with a 12-station VDI  Turret with bi-directional operation
