ACRA FEL-E 32160 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a 2-axis CNC lathe engineered for mid-range production and job shop applications, featuring a robust 32-inch swing capacity and 160-inch machining length that accommodates large cylindrical workpieces and extended bar stock. The machine is powered by a 14.9 kW motor system, delivering 1,500 RPM maximum spindle speed, making it suitable for precision turning operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials with moderate cutting demands. The integrated tailstock provides essential support for extended workpieces, enabling steady rest functionality and enhanced accuracy during multi-pass turning operations. The CNC control system offers programmable tool path execution with intuitive conversational programming capabilities, reducing setup time and enabling rapid job changeover for batch production scenarios. Two-axis control (X and Z) manages longitudinal feed and radial tool movement independently, allowing synchronized cutting profiles and thread generation. The machine's specifications position it as an economical solution for small to medium-batch production of intricate cylindrical parts without requiring the complexity and cost of full multi-axis systems. This configuration is ideal for shops transitioning from manual lathes to computerized production or for dedicated applications requiring consistent repeat accuracy. The combination of adequate power, moderate spindle speed, and extended machining envelope makes this lathe particularly versatile for aerospace, automotive, and industrial component manufacturing where reliability and precision are paramount.
