Universal lathe TORNADO 460x2000

CORMAK TORNADO 460x2000

CORMAK TORNADO 460x2000 is a robust and highly accurate universal lathe designed for professional metalworking in industrial environments. With a 2,000 mm distance between centers and an 82 mm spindle bore, it is an ideal solution for machining long shafts, sleeves, pipes, and other large workpieces. The machine combines precision guideways, a rigid cast iron construction, and comprehensive standard equipment to deliver outstanding performance across a wide range of machining operations.

Key Features
Versatile machining capabilities – external turning, internal turning, taper turning, metric, imperial, module and DP threading, drilling, boring, and polishing.
2,000 mm distance between centers – ideal for machining long shafts, tubes, and cylindrical components.
300 mm wide cast iron bed – hardened and precision-ground for excellent rigidity, vibration damping, and long service life.
2-axis Digital Readout (DRO) – equipped with optical scales for accurate positioning and improved machining precision.
82 mm spindle bore – accommodates large-diameter and long workpieces.
Rapid traverse joystick – significantly reduces carriage travel time and improves productivity.
Direct thread selection – thread parameters can be changed without replacing change gears.
Thread chasing dial – enables accurate and repeatable thread cutting.
Removable gap bed – allows machining of workpieces up to 690 mm in diameter.
Construction and Technology

The CORMAK TORNADO 460x2000 is designed for precision and durability under demanding production conditions. The ergonomic control panel and precision spindle assembly provide smooth operation across a 25–2000 RPM speed range.

The headstock transmission features hardened and precision-ground gears, ensuring quiet operation, long service life, and reliable power transmission. The heavy-duty cast iron bed offers exceptional rigidity and resistance to deformation, maintaining machining accuracy over years of industrial use. An integrated coolant system and LED work light enhance operator comfort and improve visibility during machining.
