Following customer demonstrations at the recent EMO 2005 machine tool show, a GBP 250,000 order has been taken by the company's subsidiary, Star GB, for the supply of three sliding-headstock lathes.
Following customer demonstrations on the Star Micronics stand at the recent EMO machine tool show in Hannover, a GBP 250,000 order has been taken by the company's subsidiary, Star GB, for the supply of three sliding-headstock lathes, two SB-16s and an SR-20RII, to a contract manufacturer in the UK.
The application revolved around the high-speed production of a simple shaft component where annual output was critical to the customer's decision-making process.
Star GB worked jointly with its Japanese colleagues to achieve the required cycle times and win the order.
All three lathes are fed by German-built FMB bar magazines, for which Star GB is sales agent in the UK and Eire.
