Star GB | SB-20RII CNC Sliding Head Lathe Demonstration

Following high levels of interest during its recent simultaneous debut at IMTS in Chicago and AMB in Stuttgart, the all-new SB-20RII will make its UK premiere at the open house event. As Star’s most popular machine series with over 27,000 machines sold worldwide across the SB range, the SB-20RII is the latest iteration and is predicted to be popular amongst UK and Ireland manufacturers.

The SB-20RII offers various improvements to further enhance performance, versatility and ergonomics. This includes additional tool stations, increased power, higher spindle speeds, advanced control features, and improved accuracy. Despite its upgrades and the optional capability to process components up to 25.4mm in diameter, Star has reduced the overall machine footprint by 10% in comparison to its best-selling SB-20R Type G.

Incorporating various technologies to minimise heat generation, the SB-20RII includes Star's innovative thermal displacement correction technology to optimise accuracy, stability and machining performance. The machine is compatible with the latest software developments including Step Cycle Pro chip-breaking technology and features Star’s innovative new ECO mode, an energy saving function with a dedicated interface that saves power during machine standby.
