Swiss-Type Lathe Cuts Production Time
October 1, 2013
"Star CNC Machine Tool Corp. continues its decades-long tradition of innovation with its SW-20, a Swiss-type automatic lathe equipped with software that enables complex components to be manufactured in the fastest possible times. This evolutionary new model was built for productivity in complex machining, with mechanical and control systems designed to minimize non-cutting time," said a company spokesperson.
The SW-20 also offers many new functions such as manual handle retracing, program check, 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 for back-end working
- Simultaneous machining by opposing gang slides (2-tool turning - 2-tool milling/drilling)
- The Star Motion Control System to provide an uninterrupted tool path
- An electric drive to eliminate hydraulic pressure, reducing idle time
- Collets that can be opened/closed even during high-speed operation.
