Colchester Machine Tool Solutions’ Typhoon CNC turning center follows on from the Tornado range. The Typhoon range offers cutting performance and accurate component finish during operations.
The range comes in models as a choice of either quick, low-friction linear (L series), or heavy-duty, boxway (B series) turning centers. These are all available with variations of two-axis, C-axis, subspindle and Y-axis functions in a range of bar capacities to suit turning applications.
The turning centers are fitted with a FANUC Oi-TF control system with Manual Guide i and are all manufactured with a one-piece cast-iron base with a 30-degree slant-bed design. This gives a low center of gravity and a better ergonomic design, maximizing precise cutting, regardless of your component complexity, the company says.

The Evolution of the Y Axis on Turn-Mill Machines
Introduced to the turn-mill machine tool design in about 1996, the Y axis was first used on a single-spindle, mill-turn lathe with a subspindle. The idea of a Y axis on a CNC originated from the quality limitation of polar interpolation and the difficulty in programming, not from electronic advances in controls or servomotor technology as one might commonly think.
