Star are a long established manufacturer of 'Swiss Type' sliding head machines.

Originally intended for manufacturing long slender parts, the addition of driven tools, back-working, end working and all kinds of interpolation methods using Fanuc controls make these machines extremely versatile.

Bryken has 16 Star machines all fitted with FMB automatic barfeeds.

All of our Star machines are provided by A&S Precision of Melbourne, Derbyshire in the U.K

Our SA12'S have a capacity of 13mm and stroke of 100mm. With 4 back, 4 end working and 2 driven side working attachments - the SA12 is a versatile, accurate and quick machine. As with all our STAR machines, a sub spindle provides scope for overlapping operations.

All our SA12's are fitted with FMB mini turbo automatic bar feeders - 2 three metre and 4 four metre bar length.

SR-20

SR20's have a capacity of 20 mm with a stroke of 205mm. These were the first 'Swiss type' sliding head machine purchased by Bryken and became our benchmark for quality and service.
