Star Micronics GB, a provider of sliding-head lathes, will host its annual open house on 19-21 November 2024 at its Technology Centre in Derby. The event will feature live demonstrations of the latest production technologies from Star and its partners, with the spotlight shining on the UK premiere of the company’s new SB-20RII sliding-head lathe.

The SB-20RII offers various performance, versatility and ergonomic enhancements. These include additional tool stations, increased power, higher spindle speeds, advanced control features and improved accuracy. Despite its added capabilities, such as the ability to process components up to 25.4 mm in diameter, the SB-20RII has a 10% smaller footprint than the best-selling SB-20R Type G.
