Jet 321440 Geared Head Lathe Acu-rite 200S Dro Collet Closer

Product Description

The JET 321440 is a geared head engine lathe equipped with a factory-installed 2-axis ACU-RITE 200S digital readout (DRO) and collet closer. Designed for high-demand turning operations in professional machine shops and industrial environments, this lathe delivers precise positioning feedback through the integrated DRO system while the collet closer allows fast, repeatable workpiece clamping without interrupting workflow. At 6000 pounds, this is a heavy-duty floor-standing machine built for continuous production use. It is intended for installation and operation by skilled machinists and millwrights.

The GH-1660ZX platform is suited for commercial and industrial machine shop environments where accuracy, rigidity, and throughput are priorities. The factory-installed ACU-RITE 200S 2-axis DRO eliminates manual dial reading and reduces setup time on repetitive turning, facing, and threading operations. The integrated collet closer extends the machine's capability for bar stock and production work. This configuration ships as a complete, ready-to-commission unit.

Key Features

• Factory-installed 2-axis ACU-RITE 200S digital readout for real-time position display on X and Z axes
• Integrated collet closer for fast, repeatable workpiece clamping on bar stock and short-run production
• Geared head spindle drive for broad speed range and high torque at low RPM
• Heavy-duty cast construction at 6000 pounds for vibration damping and long-term accuracy
• Complete factory-assembled configuration reduces field installation time

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-configured machine tool unit based on the JET GH-1660ZX geared head lathe platform with ACU-RITE 200S DRO and collet closer installed at the factory.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or machine tool technician. The machine must be placed on a level, reinforced concrete floor capable of supporting the 6000-pound load, and anchor bolt patterns should follow the manufacturer's installation manual. Electrical connection must comply with applicable NEC requirements for the specified voltage and phase — confirm local service capacity before commissioning. Do not operate the lathe until leveling, alignment, and all safety guard installations are verified complete.
