Cutting Production Time, Improving Profitability

A Swiss-type automatic lathe equipped with cutting-edge software, the Star CNC Machine Tool SW-20, enables manufacturing of complex components in the fastest possible times. This model transforms productivity in complex machining by featuring mechanical and control systems designed to minimize non-cutting time to the utmost level, resulting in improved production output, as well as greater profitability.

The SW-20 also offers a range of functions such as manual handle retracing, program check, and code and alarm help, among others, to assist the system operator. By giving the motor on the sub-spindle power equal to the main spindle, the SW-20 also enhances the freedom to program efficiently.

Features of the SW-20 Swiss-type automatic lathe include:

• An 8-spindle tool post (with Y-axis control function), designed exclusively for back-end working
• Simultaneous machining by opposing gang slides (2-tool turning – 2-tool milling/drilling)
• Star Motion Control System to ensure an uninterrupted tool path
• Electric drive to eliminate hydraulic pressure, reducing idle time
• Collets that can be opened/closed even in high-speed operation
