ABOUT THE STAR SR-32JII

Star developed the SR-32JII as a high-rigidity 32mm Swiss-type automatic lathe aimed at demanding larger-diameter precision work. The machine combines a rigid gang-type tool post, main and sub-spindle C-axis control, extensive driven-tool capability and simultaneous front and back working to complete complex components from bar in a single production cycle.

The Type A version uses a six-position backworking unit and five linear controlled axes, providing a strong balance of capability, rigidity and simplicity for manufacturers producing complex turned and milled components.

32MM MACHINING CAPACITY

Standard maximum machining diameter is Ø32mm. Star also lists an optional Ø34mm specification depending on machine configuration.

Maximum standard headstock stroke is 320mm, providing useful capacity for both conventional turned components and longer precision parts.

This combination of diameter capacity and headstock travel makes the SR-32JII particularly attractive to subcontractors that require a versatile machine capable of handling a broad component mix rather than being restricted to small-diameter work.

MAIN SPINDLE

The main spindle specification includes:

• Maximum speed: 8,000 rpm
• C-axis control
• Built-in spindle motor
• 7.5kW continuous / 11kW short-time output

The built-in spindle arrangement provides the speed, rigidity and indexing accuracy required for productive turning, drilling and milling operations.

FRONT-WORKING TOOLING

The SR-32JII provides a substantial front-working tooling platform. Standard machine architecture includes:

• 6 turning tool positions
• 16mm square tool shank capacity
• 5 front fixed-tool positions
• 5 rear fixed-tool positions
• Maximum stationary drilling capacity: Ø13mm
• Maximum stationary tapping capacity: M12 × P1.75
• Cross-milling and driven-tool capability

Depending on the selected driven-tool arrangement, Star offered multiple cross-working configurations including ER20, ER16 and cartridge-type tooling. Cross-milling tools operate at up to 6,000 rpm, while cartridge-type driven tools can operate at up to 8,000 rpm.

This flexibility allows turning, cross drilling, slotting, milling, tapping and other secondary operations to be integrated into the main machining cycle.

TYPE A BACKWORKING UNIT

The Type A is equipped with a dedicated six-position backworking unit, allowing extensive secondary operations to take place after the component has transferred to the sub spindle.

Official Type A backworking specifications include:

• 6 backworking tool positions
• Standard maximum chucking diameter: Ø32mm
• Optional maximum chucking diameter: Ø34mm
• Maximum front-ejection length: 125mm
• Maximum component projection length: 45mm
• Stationary drilling capacity: Ø13mm
• Driven drilling capacity: Ø8mm
• Stationary tapping capacity: M10 × P1.5
• Driven tapping capacity: M6 × P1.0
• Driven backworking speed: up to 6,000 rpm

SUB SPINDLE

The sub spindle provides:

• Maximum speed: 8,000 rpm
• Full C-axis control
• 3.7kW continuous / 5.5kW short-time motor output

The ability to machine on the sub spindle while front-working operations continue helps balance cycle times and reduces the need for separate second-operation machinery.

FANUC 32i-B CONTROL

The SR-32JII platform is equipped with a FANUC 32i-B CNC control and a 10.4-inch colour operator display. Star designed the control package to support the simultaneous machining, C-axis positioning and driven-tool functions required on a modern multi-axis sliding-head lathe.

RAPID MOVEMENT & PRODUCTIVITY

Rapid traverse is up to 35m/min on the principal Type A linear axes, helping minimise non-cutting time during production.

Combined with simultaneous front and back working, fast spindle indexing and driven tooling, the machine is designed to maximise productive cutting time and reduce component handling between operations.

4M FMB TURBO 3-36 MAGAZINE BAR FEEDER

This machine is supplied with a 4-metre FMB Turbo 3-36 magazine bar feeder.

A quality magazine bar feed is an important part of any serious sliding-head production cell, enabling extended automatic running and reducing operator intervention. It is particularly valuable for medium- and high-volume production where reliable unmanned bar loading is essential.

HYDRAJET UB20 HIGH-PRESSURE COOLANT

The fitted Hydrajet UB20 high-pressure coolant system is a major production benefit.

High-pressure coolant can improve:

• Chip breaking and evacuation
• Tool life
• Process stability
• Deep-hole drilling performance
• Machining of difficult materials
• Reliability during unmanned production

Delivering coolant directly to the cutting zone is especially valuable on sliding-head machines where consistent chip control is critical to protecting tooling, guide-bush areas and finished components.

JBS GUIDE BUSH SYSTEM

The fitted JBS guide bush system supports the bar material close to the cutting point, helping provide the stability associated with Swiss-type machining.

This is particularly beneficial when producing long, slender or high-precision components where dimensional accuracy, repeatability and surface finish are important.

LNS SWARF CONVEYOR

The LNS swarf conveyor provides automatic chip removal from the machine, reducing manual swarf handling and helping maintain stable production conditions during longer running periods.

FIRETRACE AUTOMATIC FIRE SUPPRESSION

FireTrace suppression adds an important layer of protection to a high-production machine tool, particularly where extended or lightly attended operation is planned.

MACHINE SIZE & CONSTRUCTION

Official Star specifications list the SR-32JII at approximately:

• Machine dimensions: 2,690 × 1,345 × 1,780mm
• Machine weight: approximately 4,100kg
• Coolant tank capacity: 275 litres

The substantial machine weight and rigid slide arrangement contribute to the stability and long-term accuracy for which the SR series is well known.

IDEAL APPLICATIONS

The Star SR-32JII Type A is well suited to precision manufacturers operating in sectors including:

• Aerospace
• Automotive
• Medical
• Hydraulics and pneumatics
• Motorsport
• Defence
• Electronics
• General subcontract machining
• High-volume precision turned parts

Its combination of 32mm bar capacity, twin-spindle machining, driven tooling and comprehensive backworking makes it especially effective where a component would otherwise require several separate operations.

WHY THIS MACHINE?

This is not simply a stand-alone machine tool. It is a well-equipped production cell with the ancillaries required for serious automated manufacturing already included.

Key advantages include:

• 2021 machine
• Approx. 15,000 hours
• Proven Japanese sliding-head technology
• 32mm capacity
• Main and sub-spindle C-axis machining
• Driven tooling
• Six-position Type A backworking unit
• 4m FMB magazine bar feed
• Hydrajet high-pressure coolant
• LNS swarf management
• FireTrace suppression
• JBS guide bush system
• Fully inspected and serviced
• 30-day warranty

For a manufacturer looking to increase 32mm sliding-head capacity, this package offers a compelling alternative to buying new, avoiding the cost and potential lead time of specifying a complete production cell from scratch.
