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
Eight spindles on small bar define the New Britain Machine Model 832: the listed figures give 8 spindles, a maximum bar diameter of 32 mm (1.26 in) and a weight of approximately 20,000 kg (44,000 lb). It is not in New Britain Machine's current range, and the table has not been confirmed against a maker's page, so treat every row as a listed figure for an older machine.
Two extra stations over a six-spindle layout change what a part can carry in one pass around the drum. With eight positions, a part that needs drilling, reaming, forming, threading and a cut-off can keep each operation short, because the slowest station sets the cycle. The 32 mm (1.26 in) limit keeps this to small-diameter work: fittings, connector bodies, pins and similar bar parts, not shafts or flanges.
The CNC configuration is listed with an AC servo main spindle drive, cross slides that are CNC servo-driven per spindle position and servo-driven end-working slides, under a multi-channel CNC that is Siemens or Fanuc depending on configuration. Spindle speed is given only as variable and CNC-programmable within mechanical limits. No rpm, power or stroke figure appears.
Bar is supplied by a magazine bar feed system and coolant is flood with centralized filtration. For a used machine the points to pin down are the control actually fitted, the state of all eight spindle positions and whether the floor can take approximately 20,000 kg (44,000 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 8 spindles give eight working positions for one part, so long operations can be split across stations
- Magazine bar feed system listed, for long unattended runs on bar up to 32 mm (1.26 in)
- CNC servo-driven cross slides per spindle position and servo-driven end-working slides in the CNC configuration
- Flood coolant with centralized filtration is part of the listed equipment
Limitations
- Maximum bar diameter is 32 mm (1.26 in); anything larger is outside the machine
- Spindle speed is listed only as variable within mechanical limits, with no rpm or power figure
- Approximately 20,000 kg (44,000 lb) to rig and found
- The maker's current range no longer includes it, and the table has not been confirmed against a maker's page

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures give 8 spindles and a maximum bar diameter of 32 mm (1.26 in). Bar is fed from a magazine bar feed system. The table states no bar length, so check the loader fitted to the machine you are looking at.
02
The table does not give one. The speed row reads variable, CNC-programmable within mechanical limits, and there is no power row. Ask for the machine's documentation or read the drive data on the machine itself before estimating cycle times.
03
A multi-channel CNC, listed as Siemens or Fanuc depending on configuration. The main spindle drive is an AC servo in the CNC configuration, and the cross slides and end-working slides are servo-driven.
04
Confirm which control is fitted, since the table lists Siemens or Fanuc depending on configuration, and whether the machine is in the CNC configuration with servo-driven slides. Verify the 32 mm (1.26 in) bar capacity and the magazine bar feed, and plan rigging for approximately 20,000 kg (44,000 lb).
