10-Axis Swiss-Type Lathe Performs Complex Machining Efficiently

Star CNC, a division of Star Micronics Co. Ltd., will introduce the SR-38 Type B, a 10-axis Swiss-type automatic lathe for complex machining operations. This addition to the company’s product line is said to be capable of machining complex, large-diameter parts with high efficiency.

The rigid machine construction is designed to handle bar stock ranging to 1-½" in diameter. With B-axis versatility, complex parts can be produced in one operation with the precision and accuracy required by quality critical applications in a variety of industries. According to the company, the machine’s motion control system further optimizes machining operations and significantly reduces idle machine time.

In addition, Star CNC will introduce two other machines: the SV-20R and SR-32JII, with upgraded capabilities.
