68 www.CNC-West.com CNC WEST February/March 2018 New Products New SV-20R Swiss-type Automatic Lathe —Star CNC The new version R to the highly successful SV-20 series Automatic Lathe has arrived. Newly redesigned with improved functions and machin- ing capabilities, reduced machining time and higher accuracy, Star CNC reports the SV-20R is perfect for manufacturing intricate and complex parts for a range of industries. A built-in B-axis for multiple tools and (8) station tool block for overlap- ping of back operations is one of many impressive features. The capability of two tool turning reduces production time and improves accuracy. With rigid construction and flexibility, this machine has the capability to produce complex components from difficult cutting materials with ease and preci- sion in a single operation. New 5-Axis Machining Center —Chiron Chiron offers its new vertical twin-spindle 5-axis machining center, DZ08 FX Precision+, which includes contact-free linear direct drives in the X-,Y- and Z-axes. Chiron reports these drives bring the spindles to optimum feedrates faster and permit increased traverse rates. Compared to the previ- ous model, this machining center is designed to produce aluminum com- ponents 20-50% faster. The Chiron Series 08 machining centers offer a customizable modular design. Direct path measuring systems in all axes maximize precision. The DZ08 FX Precision+ has two 14 kW water- cooled milling spindles that accelerate to 40,000 RPM in only 1.9 seconds. In rapid feed, they reach a speed of 75 m/min (X,Y) and 100 m/min (Z). The results are chip-to-chip times of about 3.0 seconds and a tool change in about 0.8 seconds.
