How much does the Chiron 831 MT Twin cost?

Estimated price range

Est.$850,000 - $1,250,000

Our best estimate for a mill-turn / multi-tasking machine in this class — not a quote from Chiron. Configuration moves it a long way.

Chiron 831 MT Twin — price

Est.$850,000 - $1,250,000

This is our best estimate for a machine of this type and class, built from published prices of comparable mill-turn / multi-tasking machines and typical dealer pricing. Chiron has not published a list price for the Chiron 831 MT Twin that we can cite. Treat it as a planning number, not a quote.

What moves the final price

  • Spindle, control and probing options
  • Tool changer capacity and tooling package
  • Automation — pallet changers, bar feeders, robot cells
  • Freight, rigging, installation and training
  • Region, dealer and time of year

Overview

Two parts at a time is the point of the 831 MT Twin. The listed figures describe a twin-spindle mill-turn machine in which every station has its own turning spindle and its own milling spindle, cutting two workpieces simultaneously with five-axis motion. Maximum workpiece diameter is 400 mm (15.7 in).

A twin layout pays off only when both stations run the same part, so it suits steady volumes far more than mixed one-off work. Each cycle yields two finished pieces, and fixtures and tooling have to be kept identical on both sides.

Beyond that the table is thin. It names a cast iron bed, a rigid column design and a Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl control, and says the machine handles bar stock as well as chuck work. It does not give the distance between the two stations, any travel, a spindle speed, a torque or a tool count. The station spacing decides whether two 400 mm parts can really sit side by side, so ask for it first.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • Twin-spindle layout machines two parts simultaneously, each station with its own turning and milling spindle
  • Maximum workpiece diameter of 400 mm (15.7 in)
  • Five-axis simultaneous mill-turn, from bar stock or in the chuck

Limitations

  • The distance between the two stations is not listed, so the largest pair of parts cannot be confirmed
  • Travels, spindle speeds, torque and tool capacity are all missing from the table
06

Best For

Volume production where two identical parts run in each cycle Paired mill-turn parts up to 400 mm (15.7 in) in diameter Dual-part complete machining from bar or chuck
07

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How is the 831 MT Twin different from a single-station mill-turn?

It is listed as a twin-spindle machine with separate turning and milling spindles per station, and its machining type is given as dual part simultaneous. Two workpieces are cut in the same cycle, where a single-station machine finishes one.

02 Can both stations hold a 400 mm part at once?

That cannot be answered from the table. It gives a maximum workpiece diameter of 400 mm (15.7 in) but not the spacing between the stations. Until the spacing is confirmed, do not assume the full diameter is available on both sides together.
