ACRA MT-42 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The ACRA MT-42 Horizontal Machining Center features a robust main spindle capable of handling a maximum turning diameter of 7.1 inches and a turning length up to 12 inches, supported by a 6-inch diameter chuck and a maximum swing of 14.2 inches. The spindle accommodates bars with a maximum diameter of 1.65 inches and operates at speeds up to 5,000 RPM, delivering 7.4 horsepower to efficiently manage various machining tasks. It includes a single main spindle and a primary slide tool carrier with one simultaneous cutting tool, facilitating precise horizontal machining operations. The machine operates on a 2-axis system with X, Y, and Z-axis travels measuring 13.8, 11.8, and 11.8 inches respectively, all with rapid traverse rates of 472 inches per minute, enabling fast and accurate tool movements. This configuration optimizes machining efficiency for moderate-sized parts requiring high rigidity and flexibility. The MT-42 is designed for end milling, drilling, enlarging, boring, and tapping operations, making it suitable for versatile production environments requiring horizontal machining capabilities with tight tolerances and repeatability. The machine’s combination of spindle power, travel range, and rapid traverse speeds positions it as a reliable option for high-precision horizontal machining tasks in small to medium batch manufacturing.
