Description

Product description
The Turnado PRO series are modern universal engine lathes designed for high-performance conventional turning. PRO models combine a wide inverter-controlled speed range, constant cutting-speed function and fast traverses for efficient, high-quality surface finishes while keeping simple operation and serviceability.

Highlights
  • Infinitely variable spindle speed (inverter-controlled)
  • Apron with rapid-feed motor
  • Constant cutting-speed (V‑constant) for face turning
  • Extensive standard equipment and ergonomic cladding

Product details
  • Rigid, heavily ribbed cast-iron bed and massive one-piece base for stability
  • Removable gap bridge to machine short workpieces with large diameters
  • Back-gearing and advanced electronic control for high torque and wide speed range
  • High-precision pre-loaded spindle bearings for superior concentricity and load capacity
  • All guides adjustable; gears, transmission shafts and guideways hardened and ground
  • Apron runs in an oil bath for low maintenance; central lubrication simplifies servicing
  • Micrometer bed stop for high repeatability on the Z-axis; tailstock adjustable laterally for taper turning
  • X.Pos position indicator with digital speed readout and programmable auxiliary functions
  • Constant cutting speed: spindle speed automatically adapts to changing diameter during face turning for turning results comparable to CNC
