Our best estimate for the Star Micronics eCA-S32T is $220,000 - $360,000. 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-32t#price; the request is passed to Star Micronics or an authorised dealer.
The first turret has 10 stations and the second turret has 10 stations. Each station takes a maximum of 2 tools on a 16 mm shank. How many stations can actually be doubled depends on the part and on clearance between neighbouring tools, so plan from the station count and treat the second tool per station as an upper limit.
The maximum chucking diameter of the sub spindle is 32 mm (1-1/4 in), the same as the maximum machining diameter. A part turned at full bar size can therefore be picked off and machined on its back end without being stepped down first.
Star's table lists it as a Motion Control System and says nothing more about it. Programming format, screen and options are not given, so anyone who needs to match the control to existing programs or operator training should ask Star for the control specification.
