Our best estimate for the Star SV-20 is $280,000 - $450,000. 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-sv-20#price; the request is passed to Star Micronics or an authorised dealer.
Star lists 32 tool positions, including live tools. The table does not say how many of those are driven, or how they are divided between front and back working, so ask for the tooling layout drawing.
Up to 10 axes, including Y1, Y2, a B-axis, C1 and C2. The B-axis allows a driven tool to work at an angle to the bar; the paired Y and C axes cover off-centre work at both spindles.
Both are 20 mm class machines: the SV-20R lists a ø20mm (25/32in) maximum turning diameter, an 8-station turret and a 10,000 rpm spindle, and weighs 4,150 kg. The SV-20 table lists 32 tool positions and up to 10 axes including a B-axis but no spindle or weight rows, so a like-for-like comparison needs the missing figures from the seller.
