Would you buy a machine when you had no work for it?
Infinity CNC took a bold step—investing in a Star sliding head machine before the work came…
MTDCNC’s Gio reviews the new Star Micronics SD-26 Type S with Stars Phil Bellemy. The SD-26 Type S employs a gate-shaped tool post with a cross-guide structure that distributes the load evenly, arranged on the gang-type tool post for front-end machining so as to surround the guide bush that is the machining point for various tools such as turning tools and drills. Equipped with a 4-spindle facing-type milling unit with a tool swivel control axis (B-axis) capable of programmable simultaneous 5-axes control. The upper section has one cartridge-type position with a 2nd B-axis mechanism that can provide swivel control for the dedicated tool unit. Various types of tool units can be mounted, including the worlds-first twin-thread whirling unit. Yet another great new product from our friends at Star Micronics.
