The Star RNC-16A is a used CNC lathe, a machine tool — sometimes referred to as a turning machine — designed to shape metal bar stock by rotating it against cutting tools under precise numerical control. Star is a well-regarded manufacturer of precision turning machines, particularly known for its CNC lathes and automatic bar-feeding lathes used in high-volume production environments across the automotive, medical, electronics, and general engineering industries.
This machine is equipped with a Fanuc 18T control unit, a widely adopted CNC system known for its reliability and ease of programming in production lathe applications. The spindle is rated at a maximum speed of 8,000 rpm and is driven by a 2.2 kW motor, making it suited to small-diameter, high-speed turning work. Bar capacity is 16 mm in diameter, with a feed stroke of 130 mm. The tooling configuration comprises five radial tools and three frontal tools, allowing a variety of turning, facing, and cross-working operations to be carried out in a single setup.
The machine's footprint is 1,690 × 900 mm with a height of 1,720 mm, and it weighs 1,300 kg. Included with the lathe is an Iemca MiniBoss 325/32 bar loader, which automates bar feeding and supports unattended or semi-unattended production runs. A transformer and the original manuals are also included. The machine is currently listed as incoming stock, located in Italy.
