Conventional Universal Metal Lathe CORMAK TORNADO 460x1000 – precision, power and reliability in metalworking

The CORMAK TORNADO 460x1000 universal conventional lathe is a professional metalworking machine designed for precise turning of components of various sizes and shapes. Thanks to its stable construction, modern equipment and wide threading capabilities, it is an ideal solution for production plants, toolrooms, maintenance workshops and prototype workshops.

Main advantages of the machine

• Versatile applications: cylindrical, taper, internal and external turning, drilling, broaching, polishing and a wide range of threads.
• Efficient 5.5 kW motor ensuring smooth operation even under heavy loads.
• Large ø82 mm spindle bore enabling machining of long and large-diameter shafts.
• 2-axis digital readout with optical scales increases operational accuracy and operator comfort.
• Removable gap bed for machining workpieces up to 690 mm diameter and 240 mm length.
• Stable cast iron construction with hardened and ground 300 mm wide bed reduces vibration and increases machine durability.

Design and technology

The heart of the CORMAK TORNADO 460x1000 lathe is a massive, precisely machined cast iron bed, which guarantees stability in all conditions. The D1-8 spindle nose, mounted on a reinforced bearing system, ensures high rigidity and smooth operation at speeds ranging from 25 to 2000 rpm. Thanks to the use of hardened and ground gears, the spindle gearbox is characterised by exceptional durability and quiet operation.

Precision and working efficiency

The built-in digital position readout in the X and Z axes enables precise tool positioning, resulting in high process repeatability. The joystick for rapid feeds simplifies carriage movement and reduces set-up and finishing time. Thanks to the thread dial indicator, the operator can easily engage the carriage at the correct moment without recalculating thread pitches.
