Star CNC Machine Tool’s 10-axis SR-38B Swiss-type automatic lathe is designed for machining complex, large-diameter parts. With B-axis versatility and an eight-spindle backworking unit, the SR-38B can accommodate complex parts production in one operation with the precision and accuracy required by quality-critical applications in a variety of industries, the company says.
The machine has a rigid construction so as to handle barstock ranging to 1.5" in diameter. Built-in main and subspindles and high tool-post rigidity ensure exceptional accuracy. Additionally, flexible overlap machining and simultaneously-controlled X1 and X3 axes deliver high productivity. Star’s motion control system is said to optimize machining operations and significantly reduces idle machine time.
