StarCentre
Based on the same modular design as the PowerCentre all the StarCentre range of gantry machines consist of the features below:

• Modular design
• Cast iron construction
• Ballscrew drive to all axes
• High response digital servo motors
• Linear scale feedback on all axes giving accuracy on all axes of 0.020mm and 0.015mm repeatedly
• Spindle speeds of 3000rpm or 6000rpm optional
• Choice of heads:

  Orthogonal auto indexing head
  45° auto indexing head
  2 axis servo head
  Horizontal spindle
  Manual universal indexing head

• Vee-track linear guideways to all axes
• 4/5 sided machining in one set up
• 30Kw continuous spindle power
• High traverse rates(2,000 mm/min)
• Control systems from Heidenhain, Fanuc, or Siemens
• Toolchanger 40/50/60 tools
• High pressure through tool coolant

VSG
Moving gantry fixed table, virtually unlimited X axis, Y axis from 1500mm upwards in increments of 500mm to a maximum of 4000mm. Z axis of 1000mm and 1250mm. Same options as PowerCentre.

VST
Fixed gantry moving table, with table sizes of 3000mm, 400mm or 6000mm Y axis 1500mm upwards in increments of 500mm to a maximum of 3000mm.

StarCentre 500
The big brother of the StarCentre VSG, this is a large size gantry machine with Y axis traverse from 1500mm up to 5500mm. Two Z axis traverse options of 1200mm and 1500mm and again virtually unlimited X axis traverse. Greater spindle power of 45Kw, also available is a 1 degree x 1 degree auto indexing head.
