Our best estimate for the Star Micronics SL-10 is $70,000 - $120,000. 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-new-sl-10#price; the request is passed to Star Micronics or an authorised dealer.
It depends on the guide bush. The table gives 135 mm (5-5/16 in) with the stationary guide bush, 105 mm for RGB and 75 mm for RMGB. Choose the arrangement from the longest turned length on your parts, since a shorter stroke means re-gripping the bar part-way through longer pieces.
There are 6 main turning tools on 8 mm or 10 mm shanks, a 6-spindle back unit with 6 tools, and a cross drilling unit with 1 tool (ER11) plus 4 cartridge positions. What goes into the cartridge positions is not detailed in the table, so ask which cartridges are included.
Maximum drilling capability is 6mm (15/64in) and maximum tapping capability is M5xP0.8. Both are generous relative to a 10 mm (25/64 in) bar, but they are hard limits, so parts with larger bores need boring passes instead of a single drill.
The maximum length for front ejection is 70mm (2-3/4in), and the maximum parts projection length is 20mm (25/32in). Parts longer than the front ejection limit need a different unloading method, which should be discussed before the machine is specified.
Both take Ø10 mm(25/64 in) bar and use a FANUC 32i-B control. The SR-10J is listed at 1,400 kg with a main spindle of 2.2 kW(continuous)/3.7 kW(15min./60%ED). The SL-10 weighs 1,600 kg and its main spindle is rated 3.7 kW continuous and 5.5 kW (10min./25%ED), so it has more power for the same bar size.
