ACRA 1660 TVS MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ACRA 1660 TVS Manual Lathe is a precision-engineered machine tool designed for robust and versatile metalworking applications. It features a 16.2-inch swing capacity and a 60-inch distance between centers, allowing it to handle large workpieces with ease. The lathe is powered by a 5 HP motor, delivering up to 2,500 RPM with variable speed control, optimizing performance across different machining tasks. Its spindle bore measures 2.06 inches, accommodating substantial spindle tooling and allowing for the passage of long stock. The swing over the cross slide is 10.37 inches, providing sufficient clearance for a wide range of operations. The machine includes a precision headstock with a pressurized lubrication system and gears made from chromium molybdenum alloy, heat-treated and precision ground for durability and accuracy. Standard features typically include 3- and 4-jaw chucks, steady and follower rests, a coolant system, halogen lighting, a 4-way tool holder, and full-length splash guards for operator safety. The lathe’s construction includes a Meehanite cast iron bed and heavy-duty stand for vibration reduction and stability during high-speed machining. Voltage options generally support 220V AC with single or three-phase power supply compatibility. The ACRA 1660 TVS is well-suited for various turning, threading, and facing applications in industrial and toolroom settings, combining heavy-duty capacity with precise variable speed control to enhance machining efficiency and part quality. Weight is approximately 3,750 lbs, reflecting its solid build quality.
