ACRA FEL-1660 ENC CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a compact 2-axis CNC lathe designed for precision turning operations on medium-scale workpieces. The machine features a 1.41-inch bar capacity, accommodating standard bar stock for automated or semi-automated production runs. With a maximum spindle speed of 5,000 RPM and 7.5 hp of spindle power, it delivers adequate torque and speed for general machining applications across various materials. The 16.14-inch swing over bed allows for turning diameters up to this specification, while the 55.90-inch machining length provides substantial longitudinal travel for extended workpiece configurations. The integrated tailstock enables support for longer parts during machining, enhancing stability and precision during turning operations. The machine operates on two linear axes—the X-axis controlling radial movement and tool positioning, and the Z-axis managing longitudinal feed along the workpiece. The FANUC OI MATE TC control system provides reliable CNC programming and operation, enabling consistent part-to-part repeatability. This configuration makes the lathe suitable for producing symmetric turned components, threaded shafts, and similar cylindrical parts requiring tight tolerances. The 2-axis design represents an ideal balance between capability and operational simplicity, making it practical for job shops and small-to-medium manufacturing facilities requiring versatile turning capabilities without the complexity of multi-axis systems.
