Star Micronics SR-32J in Action & Demo

Frequently Asked Questions: Star SR-32J

How much does the Star SR-32J cost?

Our best estimate for the Star SR-32J is $200,000 - $320,000. 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-sr-32j#price; the request is passed to Star Micronics or an authorised dealer.

How are the 18 tool positions on the SR-32J divided?

The table lists 18 positions: 4 live, 6 turning, 4 end and 4 back. The turning tool rows separately confirm 6 tools. With only 4 driven positions, check a part's cross-drilling and milling operations against that count before quoting it on this machine.

What is the difference between maximum machining length and maximum turning length?

The table lists both without explaining the difference. Maximum machining length is 320 mm (12.6 in), which equals the headstock stroke of 320 mm (12-19/32 in). Maximum turning length is 310 mm (12-13/64 in). For planning purposes the shorter figure is the safe one.

What electrical supply does the SR-32J need?

Total installed power is listed as 20 kW. The main spindle accounts for 7.5 kW continuous (11.0 kW at 10min./25%ED) and the sub-spindle for 3.7 kW continuous (5.5 kW at 10min/40%ED). Voltage and current are not in the table, so take them from the installation documents.

Can the SR-32J run bar larger than its nominal size?

Yes, as an option. Standard bar capacity is Ø32 mm (1-1/4 in) and the table lists Ø34 mm (1-11/32 in) as optional. Confirm that a particular machine has the larger capacity fitted before ordering stock for it.

Which control does the SR-32J use?

A Fanuc 32i-B, per the control row. The table lists 8 axes, and the rapid traverse row gives 35 m/min on X1, X2, Y1, Z1 and Z2. No control options or software packages are listed in the table.
