Condition: ready for operation (used), Year of construction: 2021, functionality: fully functional, ## 2021 Star SB-20R Type G – 20 mm CNC Sliding Head Lathe 7 axis | Twin spindles | Driven tooling | Guide-bush / non-guide-bush operation | FMB magazine bar feeder Available from Swiss CNC, this 2021 Star SB-20R Type G CNC sliding head lathe combines 20 mm bar capacity, twin-spindle machining and a versatile tooling platform for precision component production. Equipped with FANUC CNC control, it offers turning, milling, drilling, tapping and back-working capability within a compact machine layout. The 10,000 rpm main spindle and 9,000 rpm sub-spindle both feature C-axis control, supporting accurately positioned machining operations on the front and rear of the component. The fully independent sub-spindle allows front- and back-working operations to overlap where the component and programme permit, helping reduce cycle times and minimise additional handling. ### Guide-bush and non-guide-bush flexibility A key feature of the SB-20R Type G is its ability to switch between guide-bush and non-guide-bush operation. Guide-bush mode supports the material close to the cutting point, making it particularly suited to slender components and longer turned features. For shorter components, non-guide-bush operation can reduce bar remnant length and improve material utilisation. This flexibility allows manufacturers to adapt the machine to different component geometries and production requirements. ### Technical specification | Specification | Details | |---|---| | Manufacturer / model | Star SB-20R Type G | | Year of manufacture | 2021 | | Maximum machining diameter | 20 mm | | Controlled axes | Seven: X1, Y1, Z1, C1, X2, Z2 and C2 | | Maximum headstock stroke — guide-bush mode | 205 mm | | Headstock stroke — non-guide-bush mode | Up to 2.5 × bar diameter, maximum 50 mm | | Main spindle speed | Up to 10,000 rpm | | Sub-spindle speed | Up to 9,000 rpm | | Sub-spindle chucking capacity | 20 mm | | Spindle positioning | C-axis control on both spindles | Fpedpjz U Acmefx Actop | CNC control | FANUC CNC | | Rapid traverse | Up to 35 m/min | ### Tooling capability - Gang-type turning-tool arrangement, with six 12 mm or seven 10 mm square turning-tool positions, depending on the fitted tool block. - Four front-working sleeve positions for end-working operations. - Cross-drilling and milling capability, with modular cartridge tooling configurations available for different machining requirements. - Four-position back-working station, supporting static or driven tooling according to configuration. - Independent sub-spindle movement for component transfer and rear machining. ### Included equipment - FMB Turbo 2-20 automatic magazine bar feeder for 3.2 m bar stock. - Filtermist FX mist extraction system. - LNS MH500 Turbo swarf conveyor. - FireTrace fire suppression system. - Selection of tooling and workholding. The supplied bar feeder, extraction and swarf-handling equipment provide a practical package for manufacturers looking to add automated 20 mm bar-machining capacity. ### Machine hours and availability Power-on and cutting hours to be confirmed. 2021 machines available in the UK, offered individually.
