Star SB-20R Type G CNC Sliding Head Lathe

The Star SB-20R Type G is a high-performance 20 mm CNC Swiss-type automatic lathe, designed for accurate, productive manufacture of complex turned components. Offering twin-spindle machining, driven tooling, C-axis control and flexible guide-bush configuration, the SB-20R is particularly well suited to subcontract machining and high-volume precision component production.

Machine Specification

* Maximum machining diameter: Ø20 mm
* Maximum headstock stroke: 205 mm
* Non-guide-bush headstock stroke: Bar diameter × 2.5, maximum 50 mm
* Main spindle speed: Maximum 10,000 rpm
* Main spindle motor: 2.2 kW continuous / 3.7 kW 10-minute rating
* Main spindle indexing: C-axis control
* Sub spindle maximum chucking diameter: Ø20 mm
* Sub spindle speed: Maximum 9,000 rpm
* Sub spindle indexing: C-axis control
* Sub spindle motor: 0.55 kW continuous / 1.5 kW 15-minute rating
* Rapid traverse: 35 m/min on X1, Y1, X2 and Z2
* Coolant tank capacity: 180 litres
* Machine dimensions: 2,070 × 1,177 × 1,760 mm
* Machine weight: Approx. 1,750 kg
* Power consumption: 3.7 kVA
* Control: FANUC 0i-TD
* Operator interface: 8.4” colour LCD

Tooling Capability

The SB-20R Type G provides a highly flexible tooling platform capable of combining turning, drilling, milling and rear-working operations within a single machining cycle.

Depending on the selected tooling configuration, the machine can accommodate:

* Up to 7 turning tools
* Front and rear sleeve-holder tooling
* Cross drilling and milling
* Driven-tool stations
* Cartridge-type powered tooling
* Backworking tooling
* Driven rear-working capability
* Main and sub-spindle C-axis machining

Star offered several cross-drilling/tool-post configurations, allowing the machine layout to be tailored around the component and machining requirements.

Guide Bush / Non-Guide Bush Capability

An important feature of the SB series is the ability to operate in either guide-bush or non-guide-bush configuration.

This provides additional flexibility when machining different component geometries and allows the machine configuration to be selected according to the overall component length.

For shorter components, non-guide-bush operation can also offer advantages in material utilisation by reducing the remnant length normally associated with conventional sliding-head production.

Twin-Spindle Production

The machine incorporates a dedicated sub spindle and rear-working station, allowing components to be transferred from the main spindle for secondary operations.

The backworking unit provides:

* Maximum Ø20 mm chucking capacity
* Maximum 9,000 rpm sub spindle
* Four rear-working tool positions
* Stationary drilling and tapping capability
* Optional driven rear-working tooling

This enables front and rear machining to be combined within one automatic production cycle, helping minimise secondary operations and component handling.

Driven Tooling

The SB-20R can be equipped with several powered-tool configurations including cross-drilling units and cartridge-style tooling.

Star specifically designed the tooling arrangement to provide significant flexibility for more complex machining applications, while the four-spindle backworking unit can also accommodate a powered drive unit for additional rear machining capability.

Standard Machine Features

Factory specification includes features such as:

* FANUC CNC control
* Main and sub-spindle C-axis control
* Automatic centralised lubrication
* Coolant level detection
* Door interlock system
* Broken cut-off tool detection
* Parts ejection detection
* Revolving guide-bush system
* Main and sub-spindle collets
* Cross-drilling unit
* Sleeve-holder tooling
* Backworking unit
* Work light
* Leakage breaker

The brochure confirms that main and sub-spindle C-axis control are supplied as standard, providing increased capability for milling, drilling and positioning operations.

Machines Available

3 × Star SB-20R Type G machines available, ranging from 2015 to 2021, supplied with ancillary equipment including:

* FMB Turbo 2-20, 3.2 metre magazine bar feeders
* Filtermist FX extraction systems
* LNS MH500 Turbo swarf conveyors
* Selection of tooling and workholding

A strong opportunity for manufacturers looking to add proven 20 mm sliding-head capacity without the capital cost and lead time associated with purchasing new equipment.

Ideal applications: precision turned components, automotive, aerospace, medical, electronics, hydraulics, general subcontract machining and high-volume bar work.
