Our best estimate for a swiss-type lathe in this class — not a quote from Star Micronics. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Star SV-32 is a Swiss-type lathe with a 32 mm (1.26 in) bar capacity and up to 10 axes. Star's axis row names five of them: Y1, Y2, a B-axis, C1 and C2. Rapid traverse is 32 m/min.

The named axes describe the machine's purpose better than the bar size does. C1 and C2 put contouring control on two spindles. Y1 and Y2 give off-centre movement to two tool groups, and the B-axis lets a driven tool be set at an angle to the part. Taken together they point to parts that would otherwise go to a milling machine for a second operation: angled cross holes, inclined flats, and features on either end that sit away from the centreline.

What the table leaves out matters as much to a buyer. No spindle speed, spindle power, tool count, stroke or weight is given for this model, and 'up to 10' is a ceiling, not a count for every configuration. For reference among Star's machines of this bar size, the eCA-S32T is listed with 10 stations on each of two turrets.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Up to 10 axes, with Y1, Y2, B-axis, C1 and C2 named in the table
B-axis for angled drilling and milling without fixed-angle holders
Rapid traverse listed at 32 m/min

Limitations

No spindle speed, power, tool count, stroke or weight in the published table
Axis count is an upper limit ('up to 10'), so the axes on a specific machine need confirming

Best For

Bar parts up to 32 mm (1.26 in) with angled features Off-centre work on both ends using Y1 and Y2 Milled profiles that need C1 and C2 contouring

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How many axes does the SV-32 have?

Up to 10. The table names Y1, Y2, a B-axis, C1 and C2 among them. The wording is an upper limit, so ask which axes are fitted to the machine being quoted.

02 What bar diameter can the SV-32 machine?

Maximum bar capacity and maximum machining diameter are both 32 mm (1.26 in). The table does not list an oversize option or a maximum machining length for this model.

03 How fast are the rapids on the SV-32?

Rapid traverse is listed at 32 m/min. The table gives a single figure and does not break it down by axis, so check whether Y2 and the B-axis move at the same rate if cycle time on short parts matters.
