ACRA 1460 TVS MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The ACRA 1460 TVS manual lathe is a high-precision engine lathe designed for heavy-duty turning operations. It features a 14.2-inch swing over the bed and 8.37 inches swing over the cross slide, accommodating workpieces up to 60 inches between centers. The lathe’s spindle bore measures 2.06 inches, enabling the machining of large-diameter materials. Powered by a robust 5 HP motor, it achieves spindle speeds up to 2,500 RPM, controlled via a variable speed drive for precise speed adjustment. Its bed and base are constructed from one-piece Meehanite casting with vibration stress relief, ensuring rigidity and stability during machining. The spindle nose is type D1-6 with MT No.6 taper, and the tailstock quill has a 2-inch diameter with 6 inches of travel and MT No.4 taper. Precision ground and heat-treated chromium-molybdenum gears provide smooth, reliable power transmission. The lathe includes standard equipment such as 8" 3-jaw and 10" 4-jaw chucks, steady and follow rests, coolant system, halogen lighting, full-length splash guard, and a 4-way tool holder. Its digital RPM meter and inverter-controlled motor enable easy operation and enhanced speed control. The lathe weighs approximately 3,970 lbs, with dimensions roughly 114" long, 36" wide, and 53" tall. It supports a range of thread pitches and feed rates for diverse machining tasks, making it suitable for precision turning, threading, facing, and boring applications in metalworking and manufacturing environments.
