Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from Eurotech. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Eurotech B1252SY is listed as a sub-spindle turning center with a Y axis: 52 mm (2.05 in) bar capacity, 330 mm (13 in) maximum turning diameter and 500 mm (19.7 in) maximum turning length. Eurotech's current lineup does not include the model, so the listed figures are best read as a guide for sizing up an existing machine.
The main spindle is listed at 5,000 RPM, 18.5 kW (24.8 hp) and 165 Nm (122 ft-lb). The sub-spindle matches its speed at 5,000 RPM with 11 kW (14.7 hp) and is described as a full synchronous pick-off for backworking, so a part can be handed over while turning and finished on its second side in the same cycle. A 52 mm bore against a 330 mm turning diameter means the machine takes chucked parts far larger than its bar.
The listed turret is a 12-station VDI30. Live tools run at 6,000 RPM on 5.5 kW (7.4 hp), and Y travel is ±40 mm (±1.57 in): enough for flats, keyways and cross holes off the centreline on bar-size parts, not for wide milled faces. As far as the listed figures show, front and back operations draw on the same twelve stations, and that is the practical ceiling on part complexity.
Rapids are 30 m/min in X and Z and 20 m/min in Y, with positioning accuracy listed as ±0.003 mm. The machine weighs 7,500 kg (16,535 lb), holds 200 L (53 gal) of coolant and is listed for 400 VAC 3-phase 50 Hz at 63 A. The control is a Fanuc 32i-B or a Siemens 840D sl, and which of the two is fitted decides programming and post-processing.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Sub-spindle listed as a full synchronous pick-off for backworking, at 5,000 RPM and 11 kW (14.7 hp)
- Y axis travel of ±40 mm (±1.57 in) with live tools at 6,000 RPM and 5.5 kW (7.4 hp)
- 330 mm (13 in) maximum turning diameter on a machine with 52 mm (2.05 in) bar capacity
- Main spindle listed at 18.5 kW (24.8 hp) and 165 Nm (122 ft-lb)
- Rapids of 30 m/min in X and Z and 20 m/min in Y
Limitations
- A 12-station VDI30 turret has to hold the turning and live tools for both spindles
- Y travel of ±40 mm (±1.57 in) restricts the width of off-centre milling
- Live tool power is 5.5 kW (7.4 hp), which suits drilling and light milling more than heavy slotting
- The electrical row reads 400 VAC 3-phase 50 Hz, 63 A, so a site on a different supply must check the machine's electrical build

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures give a bar capacity of 52 mm (2.05 in), a maximum turning diameter of 330 mm (13 in) and a maximum turning length of 500 mm (19.7 in). The machine weight is listed as 7,500 kg (16,535 lb).
02
Yes to both, according to the listed figures. The sub-spindle is a full synchronous pick-off for backworking, at 5,000 RPM and 11 kW (14.7 hp). Y axis travel is ±40 mm (±1.57 in), with a Y rapid of 20 m/min.
03
The turret is listed as a 12-station VDI30. Live tools run at 6,000 RPM with 5.5 kW (7.4 hp). That power is in the range for drilling, tapping and light milling; long or heavy milling cuts will be slow.
04
The electrical row reads 400 VAC 3-phase 50 Hz, 63 A, and the coolant capacity is 200 L (53 gal). The control is listed as a Fanuc 32i-B or a Siemens 840D sl, so check the machine itself for which one is installed.
