The Colchester Storm T10 two-axis and T10M three-axis bar and chucking lathes demonstrate high levels of metal removal and accuracy, the company says. The machines have a 26-kW drive serving a bar capacity of 82.5 mm in diameter and a swing over the bed of 600 mm, providing maximum flexibility for the 305-mm/265-mm chuck size versions.

The T10 has a maximum turning diameter of 360 mm x 600 mm turned length with 270-mm travel in the X axis. A 4,000 rpm spindle as an addition to the standard 3,000 rpm speed is also available.

The standard machine has a 470-mm, 12-station disc turret with VDI 40 tooling and station-to-station index time of 0.54 seconds. The driven tool T10M has a 472-mm diameter 12-position all-driven turret by a 5.5 kW, 4,000 rpm motor able to accommodate tool shank sizes up to 20-mm diameter. Turret index time on the T10M is 0.45 seconds.
