Our best estimate for the Star Micronics eCA-S20 is $150,000 - $250,000. This is an estimate for a swiss-type lathes in this class, not a quote from Star Micronics; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/star-micronics-ecas-20#price; the request is passed to Star Micronics or an authorised dealer.
The maximum machining diameter is 20 mm (25/32 in). Star's table lists no larger option for this model. The eCA-S32T is the step up, with a maximum turning diameter of Ø32mm (1-1/4in).
As far as the tables go, in size and in tooling layout. The eCA-S20 has a maximum machining diameter of 20 mm (25/32 in), 10 axes and 2 rear tools. The eCA-S32T is listed at Ø32mm (1-1/4in) with 10 stations on its first turret and 10 stations on its second turret. Star's table for the eCA-S20 lists no turret.
The table lists 2 tools at the rear, described as turning, stationary end working and power-driven. That is enough for a back-turning cut and a drilled or milled feature on the cut-off side, and a part needing more back-end tools than that should be checked against Star's full tooling layout.
