The Tornado T2M from Colchester-Harrison is a compact three-axis turning center designed to handle small, complex parts. The machine features a full C axis, spindle disc brake, and driven tooling for radial and axial milling, drilling, boring and tapping. To reduce setup and programming times, the turning center combines the FANUC OiTD control system and the Colchester-Harrison Manual Guide i for conversational programming. According to the company, the machine can complete many machining processes in one cycle.
Modern Machine Shop took an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of an Amish-owned machine shop, where advanced machining technologies work alongside old-world traditions.
This new quick-change tooling system enables shops to get more production from their Swiss turning centers through reduced tool setup time and matches the performance of a solid tool.
