This Star Micronics SH-12 is a used lathe — sometimes referred to as a turning machine — currently located in Italy. Lathes are precision machine tools used to shape metal workpieces by rotating them against cutting tools, and are central to manufacturing components across automotive, aerospace, and general engineering industries. Star Micronics is a well-established Japanese manufacturer with a long history of producing precision turning and machining equipment, particularly known for its CNC automatic lathes used in high-volume production environments.
The machine is equipped with a Fanuc 21-T CNC control unit, a reliable and widely supported controller that provides numerical control of the turning process and is familiar to operators and maintenance engineers across the industry. Also included is a device for unloading long parts, which facilitates the handling and ejection of elongated workpieces and supports more automated, unattended operation.
The package comes complete with an IEMCA Mini Boss 325 bar feeder. Bar feeders are used to automatically load bar stock into the lathe spindle, enabling continuous production runs with minimal manual intervention. The IEMCA Mini Boss 325 is a recognised compact bar feeding system well suited to smaller-capacity turning machines. Together, the bar feeder and the long-part unloading device make this a well-configured unit for productive, semi-automated turning operations.
