Threaded Lathe Sleeves

Across the general machining industry, customers are able to directly plumb in an external coolant line to the back of the sleeve using a standard ½ NPT or ½ BSP pipe fitting. This also gives users the option to adapt external high-pressure pumps directly to a turret station to maximize pressure and flow for long/deep holes.

Precision Ball Splines

The line of high-precision ball splines is ideal for high-speed operation in compact spaces such as laboratory automation or semiconductor pick-and-place assembly. They can automate functions that a human might otherwise perform, like opening the cover of a sample jar and pouring it in a test tube. And they are especially cost-effective in industrial robotic applications that require high-speed, precise integration of rotary and linear motion without the wide freedom of movement of robots.

Star AR Support Solutions

The Star AR solution is designed for ease of use. Customers may either rent AR glasses from Star Cutter or purchase their own set. When an incident occurs, an AR session is initiated through a service request and the connection made via wireless technologies. Connecting via a PC, the Star Cutter technician is able to see exactly what the operator is seeing on the machine, enabling remote training, immediate insight on machine tool issues, execution of simple maintenance tasks and assistance with applications setup.
