Colchester MultiTurn 1000 Manual/CNC Lathes
The new MultiTurn is a simple, flat-bed CNC lathe now incorporates the powerful and user-friendly Siemens 828D control with Shopturn as standard.
Bridging the gap from manual lathes to CNC, the Electronic lathe, originally developed by TS Harrison in the 1990’s, now offers the 5th generation machine. Available from a 350mm swing over the bed to models with a 1000mm diameter swing with upto 6000mm between centres and 380mm spindle bores. The latest generation Harrison Alphas with a FANUC OiTD control features many custom cycles developed between FANUC and Harrison that you will not find on other machines. Fast, easy set-up times and simple operation in all modes are the keys to the Alpha series’ ongoing success. The Alpha series benefits from the ultra-high speed OiTD CNC control along with Harrison’s own developed Alphalink software.
Available in two and three axis models, no other lathes on the market today, including full CNC machines, can compete with the Alpha XS/XC and XM for speed of production when it comes to one-offs and small batch turning.
We also supply NEW Romi CNC lathes with Fanuc or Siemens control.
The new MultiTurn is a simple, flat-bed CNC lathe now incorporates the powerful and user-friendly Siemens 828D control with Shopturn as standard.
The MultiTurn range takes a highly established, robustly engineered lathe concept from Colchester that makes it the perfect machine for many of today’s CNC turning applications. Used CNC Lathes including the Multiturn range, are also available in Kent.
The MultiTurn has 6 models to choose from, starting with the 1000, which has a 330mm swing over bed, up to the MultiTurn 6000 which has a 780mm swing and many bed length options up to 6000mm.
The Colchester MultiTurn Series machines are perfect for CNC users looking for increased versatility on one-off and small batch production. First time CNC buyers and jobbing shops looking for simplicity of programming.
The new Colchester MultiTurn CNC flatbed lathe now incorporates the hugely powerful and user-friendly Siemens 828D control with Shopturn. An established concept that is the perfect machine for many of today’s CNC turning applications.
The MultiTurn flatbed configuration and bed lengths of up to 6 metres means the Colchester MultiTurn is equally at home with long shafts, billets, bar stock, castings.
The lathe hardened and ground bedways are robustly manufactured from high performance cast-iron and fully engineered for maximum CNC capability.
The Alpha 1350XS is a compact machine. 650mm between centres. 350mm swing over bed. Utilises the Fanuc OiTD Control coupled with Harrison’s Alpha System. The ‘Alpha System’ is a simple and user friendly teach lathe control, enabling operators to perform semi automatic turning operations. The Alpha 1350XS is particularly suitable for precision turning work in a wide range of applications.
The Alpha 1400XC with full c-axis can be supplied with an 8 station VDI 20 indexing turret or Capto toolpost. This machine gives operators a full range of milling, drilling and tapping functions reducing the need for second operation production for one-offs and small batch components.
The Alpha 1400XS offers an optimum combination of accuracy, capacity and cutting performance. Suited to producing detailed and intricate ‘one-offs’ to the highest standard of finish. 7.5kW main spindle, 400mm swing over bed and 1250mm between centres.
460mm swing, 11kW spindle motor, 1500mm between centres. Cutting edge design and construction quality. Uses high performance cast iron with Warren-type construction for maximum strength and optimum swarf clearance.
The Alpha XC 3 Axis CNC combination lathe is identical in functionality to the Alpha AX range of machines. Has the addition of a fully interpolating c-axis whilst still retaining the operational simplicity.
554mm swing over bed, 15kW motor, upto 2000rpm spindle speeds, spindle bore 104mm. Fanuc 0iTD control ensures the operator can approach with the same confidence.
