Our best estimate for the Star Micronics SB-32 Multi-Spindle Automatic is $750,000 – $1,300,000. This is an estimate for a multi-spindle automatics in this class, not a quote from Star Micronics; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially.

The listed maximum bar diameter is 32 mm, with a maximum spindle speed of 6,500 rpm. The table gives no minimum diameter and no part length. All of the figures are listed ones that have not been confirmed against a Star page.
Spindle motor power is listed as 22 kW, described as total installed. That is the sum across the machine, shared by 6 spindles, and the table does not say how it is divided. For a part with one demanding cut, the rating at that single position is the number to ask for.
The table lists 6 cross slides, one per position, plus an end-working unit. It gives no tool count per slide and no stroke figures, so the detail of what each position can carry has to come from the documentation of the machine being considered.
