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

Overview

Star's SV-32J II takes 32 mm (1.26 in) bar and is listed with up to 10 axes, of which Y1, Y2, C1 and C2 are named. Rapid traverse is 32 m/min. Those rows are all that Star's table states for this model.

Read the axis row for what it includes and what it does not. Two Y axes and two C axes mean milling and drilling off the centreline can be done at both spindles, with each spindle positioned or rotated under control. No B-axis is named. Angled holes and inclined faces would therefore call for angled tool holders or a different model, so look through the part drawing for features that are neither parallel nor square to the bar.

For sizing against the rest of the SV family, the SV-20 is listed at ø20mm (25/32in) maximum turning diameter and the SV-38R at ø38mm (1-1/2in), with the SV-32J II between them. Spindle speed, power, tooling and weight are not in the table and should be requested with a quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Does the SV-32J II have a B-axis?

The table does not name one. It lists up to 10 axes including Y1, Y2, C1 and C2. If a part needs angled drilling or milling, raise it with the seller before assuming the machine can do it with standard tooling.

02 What size bar does the SV-32J II take?

32 mm (1.26 in), which is also the listed maximum machining diameter. Within the family the SV-20 is listed at ø20mm (25/32in) and the SV-38R at ø38mm (1-1/2in) maximum turning diameter.
