The SR-32JIII Type B sliding head lathe offers best-in-class accuracy, rigidity and metal cutting performance within the 32mm diameter range.
It offers a range of enhancements over the SR-32JII including improved ...rigidity, upgraded swarf clearance, refined ergonomics, Step Cycle Pro chip-breaking technology and the inclusion of a sub-spindle flush pump as standard.
The 8 station back working platen with Y2 axis increases “overlapping” opportunities to reduce cycle times and increases the total number of tools that could be mounted to 39.
Flexibility has also been enhanced with the ability to switch between guide bush and non-guide bush modes. Machine rigidity has been enhanced with the adoption of dovetail slide ways on X1, Y1, Y2 and Z2 axes.
Spindle performance has been increased with more speed and power across all four spindle motors, in addition hydraulic clamping for the main and sub-spindle collets has been adopted which increases the clamping force by up to 40%.
