ACER 1440E HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The ACER 1440E is a compact horizontal machining center designed for precision turning and milling operations on medium-sized workpieces. It features a single main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 8.750 inches and a turning length capacity of 40 inches, accommodating a chuck diameter of 8 inches. The spindle delivers 2,000 RPM with 3 horsepower output, providing adequate power for moderate-duty machining tasks. The machine incorporates a 14-inch maximum swing capacity, enabling efficient part handling and positioning. Operating on two axes, the ACER 1440E utilizes a slide-type primary tool carrier that accommodates a single simultaneous cutting tool, making it suitable for sequential machining operations. The Z-axis provides 3.75 inches of travel, allowing for controlled depth of cut and part access. This configuration makes the ACER 1440E well-suited for job shops and small manufacturing facilities requiring versatile turning and boring capabilities without the complexity of larger multi-spindle systems. The machine's modest footprint and single-spindle design offer cost-effective production for medium-volume runs involving cylindrical and complex geometries. Its specifications prioritize accessibility and ease of operation while maintaining adequate rigidity for consistent workpiece quality.
