Overview

The DMG Mori SPRINT 32|5 is the entry-level configuration in the 32 mm SPRINT Swiss-type family, offering 5 linear axes and a C-axis with 4 driven tool stations as standard. This machine handles bar stock up to 32 mm (1.26 in) with an optional SWISSTYPEkit expanding capacity to 38 mm, and produces parts up to 240 mm (9.4 in) long.

The main spindle delivers 8,500 RPM with 5.5 kW (7.4 HP) and 40.4 Nm (29.8 ft-lb) of torque. The counter spindle matches at 8,500 RPM but with lower power at 2.2 kW (3 HP) and 14 Nm (10.3 ft-lb). Four driven tool stations come standard at 6,000 RPM with 1 kW (1.3 HP), providing milling, cross-drilling, and tapping capability. Total tool capacity reaches 22 stations with up to 2 tools working simultaneously.

Z-axis travel is 100 mm, X-axis travel is 70 mm, and Y-axis travel is 405 mm. The guide bush supports the bar near the cutting zone, providing the rigidity needed to hold tight tolerances on long slender parts. The thermo-symmetric machine bed design maintains accuracy across extended production runs.

The SPRINT 32|5 occupies less than 30.1 square feet of floor space, making it one of the most compact 32 mm Swiss-type machines available. The Fanuc 32i-B Plus control with 2 control channels and 10.4-inch color display provides a familiar programming environment. Optional Tool Monitoring System with graphical load display helps protect expensive tooling.

This machine targets shops that need 32 mm Swiss-type capability without the complexity and cost of the higher-axis SPRINT 32|8 or 32|10 models. It handles the majority of medical, automotive, and connector parts that do not require simultaneous backworking during main spindle operations. Specs sourced from DMG Mori published data.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

8,500 RPM on both main and counter spindle delivers excellent surface finish on small-diameter parts across all common Swiss-type materials
Compact footprint under 30.1 square feet makes it one of the most floor-space-efficient 32 mm Swiss-type machines available
32 mm bar capacity covers the sweet spot for medical bone screws, automotive fittings, and aerospace hydraulic components
Thermo-symmetric machine bed design maintains accuracy across long production runs without frequent offset adjustments
Fanuc 32i-B Plus control with 2 channels provides familiar programming for operators transitioning from other Swiss-type platforms
Optional SWISSTYPEkit expands bar capacity to 38 mm for shops that occasionally need to run slightly larger stock

Limitations

Only 4 driven tool stations standard limits complex milling and drilling compared to the 8-station SPRINT 32|8
5-axis configuration restricts simultaneous machining capability to 2 tools versus 3 on higher-axis SPRINT models
Swiss-type programming complexity requires specialized knowledge that general CNC lathe operators may not have
Counter spindle at 2.2 kW continuous is limited for aggressive backworking in harder materials like stainless and titanium

Best For

Medical device manufacturers producing bone screws, spinal implants, and surgical instrument shafts up to 32 mm diameter Automotive fuel system and hydraulic fitting producers running mid-volume production of precision turned parts Shops entering the 32 mm Swiss-type market that want DMG Mori build quality without the cost of higher-axis models Electronics and telecom connector manufacturers producing precision pins and socket housings at high volume Dental implant manufacturers machining abutments, screws, and implant bodies from titanium bar stock

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a new DMG Mori SPRINT 32|5 cost?

New pricing runs $180,000-$300,000 depending on options. The 32|5 is the entry point in the 32 mm SPRINT lineup and costs less than the 32|8 and 32|10 models. Adding high-pressure coolant, bar feeder integration, and additional tool stations pushes toward the higher end. Used units appear in the $80,000-$160,000 range.

02 What is the difference between the SPRINT 32|5 and SPRINT 32|8?

The 32|5 has 5 linear axes plus 1 C-axis and 4 driven tool stations standard. The 32|8 steps up to 6 linear axes plus 2 C-axes with 8 driven tool stations. The additional axes and tools on the 32|8 enable more simultaneous machining and shorter cycle times on complex parts, but at a higher price point.

03 Can the SPRINT 32|5 handle bar stock larger than 32 mm?

Yes, with the optional SWISSTYPEkit the bar capacity expands to 38 mm. This is useful for shops that occasionally need to run slightly larger stock without stepping up to the SPRINT 42 platform.

04 Is 4 driven tool stations enough for most Swiss-type work?

For many parts, 4 driven stations handle the required cross-drilling, milling, and tapping. Parts with extensive backworking or multiple milled features may need the 8-station SPRINT 32|8. Evaluate your part mix before committing to the 5-axis configuration.
