This Star RNC-16 is a used lathe — sometimes referred to as a turning machine — dating from 1989 and currently located in Slovakia. Lathes of this type are precision machine tools used to rotate a workpiece against cutting tools to perform turning, drilling, threading, and other cylindrical machining operations. Star is a well-regarded manufacturer known for producing high-precision automatic and CNC lathes, particularly sliding-headstock turning machines widely used in the precision parts and series production industries.
The machine accepts bar stock up to 16 mm in diameter and offers a turning length of 130 mm, making it suited to the production of small, precise turned components. The spindle covers a broad speed range from 300 to 8,000 rpm, allowing the operator to select appropriate cutting conditions across a variety of materials and part geometries. Spindle power is rated at 2.2 kW.
In addition to turning, the machine is equipped for drilling up to 8 mm and threading up to 6 mm, supporting multi-operation production cycles without the need to transfer the workpiece. Rapid traverse on the Z-axis reaches 12 m/min, while the crosslides move at up to 10 m/min, contributing to efficient cycle times during series production. The machine is offered in used condition.
