Star Micronics GB Open House
1 min read
Sliding-head CNC lathe specialist Star Micronics GB is hosting an Open House on 8, 9 and 10 November at its Melbourne, Derbyshire HQ, with the show host to several new machine tool models, including the SW20 and the SF25.
The SW-20 sliding-headstock CNC mill-turning centre has 11 CNC axes. With its two tool platens in front of and behind the spindle centerline, the 20 mm capacity machine is ideal for balanced turning, milling and drilling operations from either side of the bar, making it especially useful when processing slender components that could otherwise be easily deflected.
An 8-station, rear-facing toolpost with vertical movement in Y works in conjunction with a counter-spindle having X, Z and C motions, allowing it to complete the most complex backworking operations during single-hit manufacturing.
The recently-introduced Star SF-25 is one of the manufacturer's first two fixed-headstock CNC lathes, a compact, 32 mm bar capacity turning centre equipped with a 10-station turret and an additional tool spindle, complete with 24-station automatic tool changer. It is well suited to manufacturing complex medical, aerospace and automotive components.
