ACER DYNAMIC 2180S MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ACER Dynamic 2180S is a precision engine lathe engineered for high-capacity production and heavy-duty machining operations. Featuring a 20.5-inch swing over bed with a maximum swing over gap of 29.1 inches, this machine accommodates large workpieces while maintaining exceptional rigidity. The 78.7-inch distance between centers enables extended workpiece lengths, making it suitable for industrial applications requiring substantial turning capacity. The lathe is powered by a robust 7.5 horsepower main drive motor, delivering consistent performance across its 20-step spindle speed range from 20 to 2,000 RPM, enabling optimal surface speeds for diverse material applications. The 3.1-inch spindle bore with D1-8 camlock spindle nose and MT7 taper provides secure workholding and tool compatibility. The 13-inch swing over cross slide offers generous cutting stroke capacity for intricate operations. Construction features thermal-treated mechanite casting bed with hardness reaching HS70, ensuring dimensional stability and vibration dampening during extended production runs. Heat-treated and precision-ground alloy gears, combined with a universal gearbox, enable both inch and metric thread cutting with ranges from 4-56 TPI and 0.5-7mm pitch. The 11.81-inch bed width accommodates various clamping configurations. Additional features include automatic longitudinal multiple feed stops, oil-lubricated leadscrew, and a 1/8 HP coolant pump for efficient chip evacuation. The machine dimensions of 125" × 32" × 48" facilitate shop floor integration, while its robust construction delivers precision repeatability essential for high-volume production environments.
