STAR ECAS-32T HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The STAR ECAS-32T Horizontal Machining Center is a high-precision CNC lathe designed for complex, multi-axis machining with a maximum bar capacity of 1.26" (32 mm) diameter and turning length up to 13" (350 mm). It features a main spindle capable of 7,000 RPM with 10 HP power and a sub spindle offering 8,000 RPM at 5 HP, allowing effective dual-spindle operation. The machine is equipped with dual toolposts (front and rear), each supporting 10 turning and 10 rotary tools, facilitating simultaneous cutting with up to three tools. It incorporates advanced milling and drilling functions with C- and Y-axis capabilities for enhanced versatility. With 11 controlled axes, the ECAS-32T supports full C-axis indexing to enable intricate contouring and live tooling operations. The twin turrets positioned opposing the machine center line reduce tool indexing time, increasing efficiency and productivity. It has robust tool capacities including turning, rotary, milling, drilling, tapping, and die-cutting tools, with tooling stations supporting multiple tools per station for flexible setups. The machine dimensions are approximately 3175 x 1745 x 1860 mm with a center height of 1084 mm, weighing about 5,700 kg and consuming 8.0 kVA of power. It includes substantial coolant tank capacity and is driven by Siemens 840D CNC control, ensuring precise, programmable machining performance suitable for Swiss-type turning and complex part manufacturing in demanding industrial settings.
