ACER DYNAMIC 3280L MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ACER DYNAMIC 3280L is a high-speed precision engine lathe engineered for heavy-duty production and specialized machining operations. This machine features a robust 32-inch swing capacity with 78.7 inches between centers, accommodating large workpieces up to 4.5 inches in bore diameter through its D1-11 camlock spindle nose. The lathe delivers 15 horsepower through its main motor, providing substantial cutting force across a spindle speed range of 10 to 1,000 RPM, enabling versatile operation from roughing to precision finishing tasks. The swing over cross slide measures 23.3 inches, allowing ample lateral access for tool positioning and complex geometries. The machine is equipped with a 12-inch three-jaw chuck, steady rest, carriage stop, and halogen work light for enhanced visibility and operational control. Its built-in coolant system with followable splash guard ensures efficient chip evacuation and tool longevity. The precision gearbox supports comprehensive inch and metric threading capabilities, making it suitable for diverse production requirements. Constructed from high-tensile cast iron for structural rigidity, the headstock and bed provide excellent vibration damping and dimensional stability during extended production runs. The 4-way tool post facilitates quick tool changes and setup flexibility. This lathe represents an ideal solution for job shops, contract manufacturers, and production facilities requiring reliable precision turning capabilities for medium to large-scale components.
