ACER E- 1440V MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Acer E-Lathe 1440V is a 14" x 40" precision manual lathe engineered for high-speed, versatile machining operations. Featuring a robust construction with chromium molybdenum steel gears hardened and ground for accuracy, the headstock incorporates a forced lubrication system for reliable performance. The spindle assembly consists of a 1-1/2" bored spindle manufactured from medium carbon steel, induction hardened and precision ground, mounted on two-point taper roller bearing supports for enhanced stability. The machine's unique two-lever universal gearbox delivers a wide range of cutting capacities with infinite variable spindle speeds ranging from 36 to 2,200 RPM. The apron integrates automatic feeding and threading capabilities with full interlock protection to prevent simultaneous engagement. The hardened and ground quill (1-7/16" diameter) features Rockwell C 55° hardness for durability. The 9"-wide bed, constructed from FC-30 cast iron with a hexagonal web design, utilizes oil-lubricated leadscrew technology for smooth operation. Comprehensive safety features include an overload friction clutch, standard foot brake, forward/stop/reverse lever, and a 24-volt safety control circuit with Allen Bradley switches. The machine weighs 1,580 lbs and operates on a 3 HP motor, accommodating swing-over-cross-slide capacity of 8.63 inches, making it suitable for precision production and general-purpose machining applications.
