ACRA 3200CET HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The ACRA 3200CET is a horizontal machining center engineered for precision turning operations with dual spindle capability. The machine features a maximum turning diameter of 32 inches and extended turning length capacity of 200 inches, accommodating large workpieces with a 20-inch chuck diameter. The main spindle delivers 1,000 RPM with 20 horsepower, with an identical secondary spindle configuration enabling synchronized dual-spindle machining. The spindle's maximum swing reaches 32 inches, supporting bar stock up to 5 inches in diameter for versatile stock compatibility. The machine incorporates a slide-type primary tool carrier with capacity for up to four turning tools, though simultaneous cutting is limited to a single tool per operation. Equipped with two programmable axes—X-axis travel of 32 inches and Z-axis travel of 80 inches (expandable to 200 inches optionally)—the 3200CET provides substantial longitudinal reach for complex turning profiles. The dual-spindle architecture enables back-to-back machining operations, reducing cycle times and increasing throughput for production environments. This configuration is particularly advantageous for high-volume turning applications requiring consistent precision and repeatability. The machine's robust construction and lower spindle speeds prioritize torque delivery over surface speed, making it suitable for heavy interrupted cuts and demanding materials. The optional extended Z-axis travel provides additional flexibility for extended part geometries, enhancing the machine's adaptability across diverse manufacturing applications while maintaining rigidity and accuracy throughout the cutting envelope.
