How much does the Schaublin 180 CNC cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from Schaublin. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Schaublin 180 CNC is a mid-size turning center listed with a 300 mm (11.8 in) maximum turning diameter, 500 mm (19.7 in) of turning length and a 10" (250 mm) chuck on an A2-6 spindle nose. Schaublin's current lineup has no 180 CNC and the table has no maker document behind it; the listed figures need confirming on the machine.
Two option rows define how a given machine can be used. Live tooling is optional and a sub-spindle is optional, so one 180 CNC may be a plain two-axis chucker while another can mill, drill off-centre and finish the back of a part after transfer. Establish which options are fitted before comparing machines, since nothing else in the table changes the work it can do as much.
The direct-drive spindle is listed at 15 kW (20 hp) and 3,500 RPM, a moderate top speed that matches a 10" (250 mm) chuck better than small-diameter bar work. The 12-station turret gives room for a full set of turning tools, with stations left for driven holders where that option is present.
Bar capacity is listed as 80 mm (3.15 in). That is a large passage for an A2-6 nose, so measure the spindle bore and the draw tube before buying bar equipment around it. Positioning accuracy is listed at 0.004 mm (0.00016 in), the control is a Fanuc 0i-TF, and the weight is around 6,500 kg (14,330 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Sub-spindle listed as an option, allowing back-face work where fitted
- Direct-drive spindle of 15 kW (20 hp) with a 10" (250 mm) chuck
- 12-station turret, with live tooling available as an option
- Maximum turning diameter of 300 mm (11.8 in) and 500 mm (19.7 in) of turning length
- Listed positioning accuracy of 0.004 mm (0.00016 in)
Limitations
- Live tooling and the sub-spindle are both options, so capability varies from one machine to the next
- Spindle speed is limited to 3,500 RPM, low for small-diameter work
- The 80 mm (3.15 in) bar capacity looks large for an A2-6 nose and needs measuring
- Schaublin's current lineup has no 180 CNC, and the listed figures are unconfirmed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Only as an option. The sub-spindle row reads optional, and so does the live tooling row. A machine may have both, one or neither, so confirm the configuration. No sub-spindle speed or power figure is given in the table.
02
The listed figures are a 300 mm (11.8 in) maximum turning diameter, a 500 mm (19.7 in) maximum turning length and an 80 mm (3.15 in) maximum bar diameter. Chuck size is 10" (250 mm) and the spindle nose is A2-6. Measure the spindle bore to confirm the bar figure.
03
A direct-drive spindle listed at 15 kW (20 hp) with a maximum speed of 3,500 RPM. No torque figure is given. The speed ceiling suits larger diameters; small bar parts will run below their ideal surface speed.
04
The control is a Fanuc 0i-TF and the machine weight is around 6,500 kg (14,330 lb). Positioning accuracy is listed at 0.004 mm (0.00016 in). Schaublin's current lineup has no 180 CNC, so these listed figures should be verified on the machine.
