ACER ATL 2680ENC CNC LATHE

This is a 2-axis CNC lathe featuring a **26-inch swing**, which denotes the maximum diameter of workpieces it can accommodate. The machine includes a **tailstock**, enabling support for longer or slender workpieces during turning operations for enhanced stability and precision. It operates with CNC control, utilizing two linear axes—X and Z. The X-axis manages tool movement radially to control diameter, while the Z-axis moves the tool longitudinally along the workpiece to define length. This configuration is suitable for machining simple, symmetrical parts with precision. Typical features include servo-driven linear axes with high repeatability and ball screws for accurate positioning and feed. The CNC control allows manual programming using ISO code, often supporting communication interfaces such as RS232 for program transfer and includes protective and diagnostic functions. This setup enables automated multi-turn operations with consistent accuracy, ideal for medium-sized parts requiring repetitive precision. The inclusion of a tailstock further extends its capability to turn parts requiring additional support. Overall, this machine is ideal for basic turning of cylindrical components in production or prototyping environments where two-axis control meets most turning needs, combining compact design with precise CNC automation.
