The Acer e-Lathe 2160V is a next-generation high-speed precision engine lathe that combines traditional mechanical rigidity with modern inverter-driven electronic control. Designed for versatility and precision, this lathe features a 20-5 inch maximum swing over the bed and a 59 inch distance between centers. The cornerstone of its performance is the Electronic Variable Speed (EVS) drive, which allows for infinite speed adjustments between 20 and 2,000 RPM via a simple control dial. This system ensures full 10 HP motor power is delivered across the entire RPM range, maximizing cutting efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

The machine’s headstock is engineered with a D1-8 camlock spindle nose and a 3-1 inch spindle bore for handling large diameter workpieces. The heavy-duty machine body is constructed from a hardened and ground Meehanite casting bedway for superior vibration dampening and long-term dimensional accuracy. All essential components, including the spindle, gears, and shafts, are heat-treated and precision-ground alloy steel. The e-Lathe 2160V is equipped with a comprehensive universal gearbox for cutting a variety of threads, including Inch threads (4-56 TPI) and Metric threads (0-5-7 mm/pitch). Standard equipment includes a four-way tool post, a built-in coolant system, and a longitudinal carriage stop, making it an ideal choice for high-mix, high-precision toolroom and production work.
