ACER ATB 29 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This 2-axis CNC lathe represents a compact yet capable machining solution designed for precision turning operations. Equipped with a robust 14.9 kW power supply, the machine delivers substantial torque across its operating range, making it suitable for both finishing and semi-roughing applications on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The maximum spindle speed of 1,000 RPM emphasizes low-speed, high-torque capability, ideal for larger workpiece diameters and heavy-duty cutting operations that prioritize control and power delivery over rapid material removal rates. The 29.13-inch swing diameter accommodates mid-to-large sized workpieces, providing versatility for various industrial applications including shaft manufacturing, bushing production, and component turning. The inclusion of a tailstock enhances operational flexibility by enabling between-center work, steady-rest support for extended components, and drilling operations on turned workpieces, significantly expanding the machine's production capabilities. The 2-axis CNC control system governs coordinated X (cross-feed) and Z (longitudinal) motion, enabling programmable contouring, taper turning, and complex profiling without manual intervention. This automation ensures consistent part accuracy and repeatability across production runs, reducing operator skill requirements and minimizing setup time between jobs. The CNC architecture facilitates quick program changes and rapid prototyping while maintaining tight dimensional tolerances essential for precision manufacturing environments. Combined with the tailstock functionality, this machine configuration represents an effective solution for job shops, contract manufacturers, and production facilities requiring reliable, mid-range lathe capabilities with modern computer control integration.
