Description

Overview
Turnado 230/1000 is a conventional universal lathe designed for flexible turning, drilling and threading operations. It combines a one-piece cast-iron bed, a 3‑axis position indicator and a wide spindle bore to accommodate shafts and tubes. The machine is supplied with an extensive standard equipment package to cover common workshop requirements.

  • Universal lathe configuration with 230 mm centre height and 1,000 mm between centres
  • One-piece cast-iron bed with prismatic guideways, hardened and ground
  • 3-axis position indicator for incremental and absolute measurements
  • Large spindle bore (58 mm) and Camlock D1-6 spindle mount
  • Motor rating 5.5 kW; wide spindle speed range (25–2,000 1/min)

Machine bed
  • Heavy ribbed one-piece bed and massive cast-iron stand provide a stable base for precision machining
  • Removable gap bridge allows machining of short workpieces with large diameters
  • Prismatic guideways are hardened and ground to maintain long-term positional accuracy

Headstock / feed gear
  • Multi-step gearbox and 5.5 kW main motor deliver the required torque across a broad speed range
  • Gears and shafts are hardened and ground, operating in an enclosed oil bath
  • Large spindle bore and robust spindle support ensure reliable clamping and stability under radial/axial loads
  • Standard equipment includes 3-jaw chuck (with reversible hardened jaws), 4-jaw independent chuck and large faceplate
  • Feed gearbox provides numerous thread pitches for metric and Whitworth threads

Support
  • Extra-wide carriage design to withstand high cutting forces
  • Feed selection lever and apron nut include automatic safety interlock
  • Spindle stop with four adjustable cams for automatic longitudinal feed shut-off
  • Micrometer bed stop and preset positions simplify repetitive operations
  • Centralized lubrication on the carriage supplies all guideways
  • Large swiveling safety cover on the carriage keeps the work area clean and protected

Tailstock
  • Tailstock quill with clear scale and 120 mm travel for deep drilling and centring tasks
  • Lateral adjustment ±13 mm for machining of tapered shafts between centres
