Sharp STF-60

Q: How much does the Sharp STF-60 cost?

The price estimate for the Sharp STF-60 is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/sharp-stf-60#price; the request is passed to Sharp or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Sharp STF-60 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

Weight shows most clearly what the Sharp STF-60 is. This facing lathe swings 59.84 in (1520 mm) and weighs 23,100 lb (10,500 kg). The STB-60, with the same swing and a bed made for work between centers, weighs 34,600 lb (15,700 kg) in its shortest form. Roughly a third of the iron is gone because the STF-60 has no tailstock and only 39.37 in (1000 mm) of Z travel.

Is that a loss? Not for the parts it is meant for. A flange, a wheel blank or a large coupling never reaches the far end of a long bed, and the short machine fits a bay 102.76 in (2,610 mm) wide.

The working limits are these. Swing over the cross slide is 39.37 in (1000 mm). X travel is 25.59 in (650 mm), a little less than the 27.56 in (700 mm) of the STB-60, and Sharp says it varies with the turret installed. Optional tool posts come in 4 way, 6 way, 8 and 12 position versions, hydraulic or motorized.

Height is 91.14 in (2,315 mm). The bores match the rest of the big bore family, 6" standard and 9", 10", 12" or 15" optional, and the standard accessories include auto lubrication on X and Z, a coolant system and Turcite-B on the slideways.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Why would I choose the STF-60 over the STB-60?

For chucking work. The STF-60 weighs 23,100 lb (10,500 kg) and has 39.37 in (1000 mm) of Z travel with no tailstock. The STB-60 weighs at least 34,600 lb (15,700 kg), is sold with 59.06 in (1,500 mm) to 236.22 in (6,000 mm) between centers and has 27.56 in (700 mm) of X travel. Both swing 59.84 in (1520 mm).

02 What is the X and Z travel of the STF-60?

X-axis travel is 25.59 in (650 mm) and Z-axis travel is 39.37 in (1000 mm). The X row carries Sharp's note that it varies by different turrets installed. The X ball screw is 1.57 in (40 mm) in diameter and the Z ball screw 2.48 in (63 mm).

03 What comes as standard on the STF-60?

Sharp's standard list includes the Fanuc Oi TF controller, a flat belt conveyor, four-step automatic spindle speed change, X/Z axes auto lubrication, a coolant system, Turcite-B on the X and Z slideways and C3 ballscrews. Chucks, turrets, the rear chuck adapter and the spindle chiller are options.

04 How tall is the STF-60?

91.14 in (2,315 mm). Height is the dimension that changes through the STF sizes: the STF-55 is 89.17 in (2,265 mm) and the STF-64 is 93.11 in (2,365 mm), while width stays at 102.76 in (2,610 mm).
