Overview
The Schaublin 275 CNC is Schaublin's large-format precision CNC turning center, extending the Swiss manufacturer's precision engineering to medium-to-large diameter workpieces with a 115 mm (4.5 in) bar capacity and 450 mm (17.7 in) maximum turning diameter. The 275 CNC serves precision manufacturers working with larger components — energy equipment parts, large medical devices, industrial instrument housings, and precision machinery components — where Swiss precision is required at medium-large scale.
The spindle delivers 2,500 RPM maximum with 22 kW (30 hp), appropriate for large-diameter precision facing and turning where surface feet per minute, not RPM, is the primary speed parameter. The direct-drive arrangement ensures vibration-free spindle operation at the precision cutting parameters required for Swiss-quality surface finish on precision ground surfaces. The 14-station turret provides comprehensive tooling capacity for complex production programs.
Schaublin's precision construction at the 275 CNC scale requires substantial machine mass — approximately 10,000 kg — to provide the vibration damping and thermal stability required for consistent precision over long production shifts. The hardened and ground way system maintains 0.005 mm positioning accuracy across the larger travel envelope, providing the geometric precision foundation that differentiates the 275 CNC from production turning centers of similar size from Korean manufacturers.
At $350,000-$550,000, the Schaublin 275 CNC is targeted at European precision manufacturing operations where Swiss origin and Schaublin's accuracy reputation justify a significant price premium over production lathes. The machine competes with Mori Seiki and Okuma precision lathes in the large-bore precision turning segment for European markets.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 115 mm bar capacity and 450 mm turning diameter extend Schaublin's precision to large component machining
- 22 kW (30 hp) direct-drive spindle provides precision turning power for large-diameter steel and stainless components
- 14-station turret provides comprehensive tooling capacity for complex large-diameter programs
- 10,000 kg machine mass delivers excellent vibration damping for surface finish quality on long precision cycles
- Swiss-manufactured to Schaublin's precision standard — globally recognized quality mark for precision component supply chains
- 0.005 mm positioning accuracy maintained at this larger scale, appropriate for precision large-component machining
Limitations
- 2,500 RPM maximum spindle speed is low — appropriate for large-diameter work but limits smaller-diameter productivity in a setup
- $350K-$550K is a very significant premium over production lathes with similar turning capacity from Korean manufacturers
- Schaublin's North American dealer and service network is limited for a machine in this size class
- 10,000 kg weight requires significant floor preparation and heavy lifting for installation
- European market-focused — less common in North American job shops where Korean and Japanese machines dominate

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The Schaublin 275 CNC handles bar stock up to 115 mm (4.5 in) in diameter and chucked workpieces up to 450 mm (17.7 in) in turning diameter. Maximum turning length is 700 mm (27.6 in). The 15-inch chuck capacity accommodates large-diameter flanges, discs, and ring components within the turning envelope.
02
Live tooling is available as an option on the 275 CNC, converting the machine to a turn-mill capability appropriate for parts requiring milling, drilling, and threading in addition to turning. The live tooling configuration must be specified at order. Given the machine's precision construction, the live tooling option delivers consistent milling accuracy appropriate for the 275 CNC's precision class.
03
The 275 CNC handles significantly larger parts — 115 mm bar versus 80 mm, and 450 mm turning diameter versus 300 mm. The 275 CNC is heavier (10,000 kg vs 6,500 kg), has more turret stations (14 vs 12), and costs $100,000-$150,000 more. Both machines use Fanuc 0i-TF control and Schaublin's Swiss precision construction. Choose the 275 CNC when parts regularly exceed the 180 CNC's capacity.
04
The Schaublin 275 CNC is primarily sold through Schaublin's European dealer network and select North American precision machine tool distributors. Schaublin's North American presence is primarily through specialized precision machine tool dealers. Contact Schaublin Machines SA directly to identify the authorized distributor closest to your location.
