This is our best estimate for a machine of this type and class, built from published prices of comparable multi-spindle automatics and typical dealer pricing. New Britain Machine has not published a list price for the New Britain Model 60 CNC Multi-Spindle Automatic Lathe 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

Retrofit status decides what a New Britain Model 60 actually is. The listed figures describe an 8-spindle multi-spindle automatic for bar up to 60 mm (2.36 in), with spindle motor power of 45–55 kW (60–74 hp) depending on retrofit and a control given as FANUC 0i-TF or Siemens 828D, also retrofit-dependent. It is not in New Britain Machine's current range, and the table has not been confirmed against a maker's page.

Maximum spindle speed is listed at 3,500 rpm, a sensible ceiling for 60 mm (2.36 in) bar, where surface speed arrives at modest rpm and torque matters more. Tooling is listed as 8 cross slides plus 7 end-working positions, so each spindle station has a cross slide and all but one has an end-working position. Bar length is 3,000 mm (118 in).

Because power and control both vary with the retrofit, two machines with this name can differ. Establish which control is fitted, what the motor is rated at within the 45–55 kW (60–74 hp) band and who carried out the conversion. The listed weight is approximately 22,000 kg (48,500 lb).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • 60 mm (2.36 in) bar capacity on 8 spindles
  • 8 cross slides plus 7 end-working positions give tooling at nearly every station
  • 45–55 kW (60–74 hp) of spindle motor power, depending on retrofit
  • Listed with a CNC control: FANUC 0i-TF or Siemens 828D, depending on retrofit

Limitations

  • Maximum spindle speed is 3,500 rpm, which limits surface speed on small-diameter parts
  • Power and control are both retrofit-dependent, so each machine has to be checked individually
  • Approximately 22,000 kg (48,500 lb), and no longer in the maker's current range
06

Best For

Bar parts up to 60 mm (2.36 in) in volume Parts needing up to 8 cross slide operations in one cycle Buyers able to assess the quality of a CNC retrofit

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What control does the Model 60 have?

The listed figures give FANUC 0i-TF or Siemens 828D, depending on the retrofit. That means the control was fitted as a conversion and differs from machine to machine, so confirm the control, its version and the retrofit documentation before buying.

02 What bar size and speed is the Model 60 listed with?

A maximum bar diameter of 60 mm (2.36 in), a bar length of 3,000 mm (118 in) and a maximum spindle speed of 3,500 rpm. Spindle motor power is 45–55 kW (60–74 hp) depending on retrofit.

03 How many tool positions does the Model 60 have?

The table lists 8 cross slides plus 7 end-working positions on its 8 spindles. Check how many of those are tooled and working on a given machine, since the listed figures have not been confirmed against a maker's page.
