The Star Micronics SB-16E is an industrial-grade CNC Lathes & Turning Centers powered by the Standard CNC. a top spindle speed of 0 RPM, and a 3-axis kinematic layout. It supports standardized digital factory monitoring via MTConnect.
Star SB-16E Swiss-type lathe: bar up to 16 mm (0.63 in) and 35m/min rapid traverse on X, Y and Z, the two figures Star's table gives for it.

Our best estimate for the Star SB-16E is $70,000 - $130,000. 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-sb-16e#price; the request is passed to Star Micronics or an authorised dealer.
The maximum bar capacity and maximum machining diameter are 16 mm (0.63 in), which Star's table also gives as Ø16mm (5/8in). No larger option is listed for this model.
On the published figures the two cannot be told apart by size or speed: the SB-16D has the same Ø16mm (5/8in) diameter and the same 35m/min on X, Y and Z. Star's table for the SB-16E has no tool count, so ask Star how the tooling of the two models differs before choosing between them.
