ACER DYNAMIC 26160L MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ACER Dynamic 26160L is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe designed for precision machining. It offers a robust swing capacity of 26.0 inches over the bed and 17.3 inches over the cross slide, accommodating large workpieces with a maximum distance between centers of 157.5 inches. The lathe features a substantial 3.3-inch spindle bore, allowing for the passage of sizable bar stock. Powered by a 10.1 HP motor, it achieves spindle speeds up to 1,500 RPM through a 12-step range, facilitating versatile cutting operations. The headstock is equipped with magnetic multiple-disc clutches for efficient spindle starting and reversing, and features a manual jog button enhancing operator control. The precision-ground cross slideways and a saddle-lock device support heavy cutting tasks with accuracy, complemented by a rapid four-directional travel mechanism. The leadscrew is safety clutched and oil-bathed, engineered for reliable threading and feeding performance. Additional features include an ampere meter for power consumption monitoring, oil flood and level indicators, and a forward/stop/reverse lever with a safety device. The lathe's solid construction integrates a 15.7-inch wide cast iron bed providing rigidity and vibration damping essential for precision machining. Optional equipment includes a "Newall" 2-axis digital readout (DRO) system. Overall, the ACER Dynamic 26160L combines substantial capacity with precise control elements, fitting the demands of industrial-scale manual turning operations across a wide range of applications.
