Universal lathe TORNADO 460x1500

CORMAK TORNADO 460x1500

CORMAK 460 × 1500 is a professional universal lathe designed for precision machining of metal components in industrial facilities, machine shops, and toolrooms. Featuring a rigid cast iron construction, a large spindle bore, and a 3-axis Digital Readout (DRO), this conventional lathe delivers outstanding stability, repeatability, and productivity for demanding machining applications.

Key Features
Heavy-duty cast iron bed, hardened and precision-ground, provides excellent vibration damping, rigidity, and long service life.
Rigid cast iron base ensures exceptional machine stability and reliable accuracy, even under heavy cutting loads.
1,500 mm distance between centers allows machining of long workpieces in a single setup.
80 mm spindle bore accommodates large-diameter shafts, tubes, and bar stock.
3-axis Digital Readout (DRO) with optical scales provides accurate positioning and improved machining repeatability.
250 mm 3-jaw chuck offers secure workpiece clamping and fast setup.
High-quality spindle bearings ensure smooth, stable operation across the full speed range.
5.5 kW (S1) main motor delivers reliable performance during continuous industrial operation.
Rapid longitudinal and cross feeds increase productivity and reduce machining cycle times.
Removable gap bed enables machining of workpieces up to 690 mm in diameter.
Construction and Technology

The CORMAK 460 × 1500 has been engineered for intensive industrial use. The large-bore spindle is supported by reinforced precision bearings, while power is transmitted through a multi-speed gearbox equipped with hardened and precision-ground gears, ensuring quiet operation, durability, and efficient torque transfer.

Machine functions are controlled from an ergonomic operator panel, providing convenient access to spindle speeds, feeds, and threading functions. The robust construction guarantees long-term dimensional accuracy and reliable performance in demanding production environments.
