Star SV-32

The Star SV-32 is Star Micronics' high-performance Swiss-type CNC automatic lathe for the 32mm bar capacity class, delivering the maximum capability and precision available from Star in this critical bar size. The SV (High-Performance) designation places the SV-32 above the SR-32J in Star's hierarchy, with higher spindle speeds, more tooling capacity, and enhanced rigidity designed for the most demanding 32mm Swiss applications in medical, aerospace, and defense manufacturing.

The SV-32 features a main spindle reaching 10,000 RPM—2,000 RPM faster than the SR-32J's 8,000 RPM—and a back spindle at 10,000 RPM, providing balanced high-speed capability for both front and back operations. At the 32mm bar size, this speed advantage is significant for finishing operations on smaller-diameter features and for achieving optimal cutting conditions on materials that benefit from higher surface speeds. With up to 10 axes including B-axis capability and up to 35 tool positions, the SV-32 is one of the most capable Swiss-type lathes available in any bar size.

The B-axis option transforms the SV-32 from a Swiss lathe into a true multi-tasking machine. Angular drilling, milling, and tapping operations that traditionally required secondary setups on indexing fixtures or 5-axis mills can be performed directly on the SV-32. For medical implants with compound-angle screw holes, aerospace fittings with angular ports, and defense components with complex geometries, the B-axis eliminates entire secondary operations from the manufacturing process.

Star's hydraulic-free design, Motion Control System, and advanced thermal management work together to deliver the precision and consistency that high-performance 32mm Swiss work demands. The Fanuc 31i-B5 control provides the processing power for complex synchronized programs, and Star's programming environment simplifies the creation of multi-path operations with B-axis coordination.
