How much does the New Britain Machine CNCMatic cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a multi-spindle automatic in this class — not a quote from New Britain Machine. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The New Britain Machine CNCMatic is a CNC multi-spindle automatic bar machine, listed most commonly as a 6-spindle configuration taking bar up to 42 mm (1.65 in) depending on configuration. New Britain Machine's current range does not list this model, and nobody has been able to confirm the table against a maker's page, so read what follows as the listed figures for an older machine and not as a current specification.
What separates it from a cam automatic is where the motion comes from. Each spindle is listed with its own AC servo drive, the cross slides are CNC servo-driven at all spindle positions and the end-working slides are servo-driven as well. In practice that moves a changeover from cutting and fitting cams to loading a program, which matters most to shops running families of similar parts in medium batches. Control is given as a multi-channel CNC, Siemens Sinumerik or equivalent, so the control actually fitted has to be read off the individual machine.
The table gives no spindle speed figure: the row says only that speed is CNC-programmable within mechanical design limits. No power, slide stroke or bar length is listed either. Anyone assessing a used CNCMatic should get those from the machine's own documentation before quoting work on it.
Installation is the other thing to plan. The listed weight is approximately 16,000 kg (35,300 lb), and the machine is shown with magazine bar feed integration and a centralized high-pressure flood coolant system, so floor loading, bar-loader footprint and coolant supply all belong in the layout.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Each spindle is listed with its own AC servo drive, so spindle speed is programmed instead of geared
- Cross slides are CNC servo-driven at all spindle positions, and the end-working slides are servo-driven too
- 6 spindles in the most common configuration, with bar capacity up to 42 mm (1.65 in) depending on configuration
- Magazine bar feed integration and a centralized high-pressure flood coolant system are both listed
Limitations
- No spindle speed figure is listed; the row says only CNC-programmable within mechanical design limits
- Bar capacity tops out at 42 mm (1.65 in), and even that depends on configuration
- At approximately 16,000 kg (35,300 lb) it needs a planned foundation and rigging
- An older model outside the maker's current range, with listed figures nobody has confirmed against a maker's page

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures give 6 spindles as the most common configuration, which implies other spindle counts existed. Each spindle is shown with its own AC servo drive. Check the spindle count and drive arrangement on the specific machine, because the table describes the range and not one build.
02
Up to 42 mm (1.65 in), depending on configuration. The table does not say which configurations reach that figure, so confirm the collet and feed-tube capacity on the machine in front of you. Bar is loaded through a magazine bar feed, which the table lists as integrated.
03
The control row reads multi-channel CNC, Siemens Sinumerik or equivalent. That wording leaves the fitted control open, so identify the control and its version on the actual machine before planning programming, training or spares.
04
The table states no spindle speed, power, slide stroke or bar length, so get those from the machine's documentation. Confirm the spindle count, since 6 is only the most common configuration, the bar capacity of that build, up to 42 mm (1.65 in), and the control fitted. Plan rigging for approximately 16,000 kg (35,300 lb).
