Overview
The Schaublin 51 CNC is a bar-capacity turning center listed with a 51 mm bar bore, a 160 mm maximum turning diameter and a 350 mm maximum turning length. It is not in Schaublin's current lineup, and no maker document was found for it, so the listed figures should be checked against the machine's own plate and manual.
The proportions describe a bar machine more than a chucker. Chuck diameter and maximum turning diameter are both 160 mm, while the bore passes 51 mm stock, so roughly a third of the turning diameter can be fed as bar. The main spindle runs to 5,500 rpm with 11 kW.
Tooling is a 12-position turret with live tools turning at 5,000 rpm, close to the main spindle's own speed, so cross-drilling and small milled features can be finished in the same setup. Coolant pressure is listed up to 70 bar, a level that helps break chips in deep drilling and grooving.
Positioning accuracy on X and Z is listed as 0.003 mm, and machine weight as about 3,200 kg. The control row reads Fanuc 31i / NUM, two alternatives, so confirm which is fitted.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Bar bore of 51 mm on a machine with a 160 mm maximum turning diameter
- 12-position turret with live tools running at 5,000 rpm
- Coolant pressure listed up to 70 bar for deep drilling and grooving
- Listed positioning accuracy of 0.003 mm on X and Z
- Main spindle of 11 kW running to 5,500 rpm
Limitations
- Maximum turning diameter is 160 mm, so larger chucked parts are out of range
- No sub-spindle, Y-axis or tailstock row appears in the table
- The control is listed as Fanuc 31i / NUM without saying which a given machine has
- Not in Schaublin's current lineup, and the listed figures are unconfirmed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed bar bore is 51 mm. Maximum chuck diameter and maximum turning diameter are both 160 mm, and maximum turning length is 350 mm. Check the collet or chuck fitted, since the usable bar size also depends on the workholding.
02
The table lists a live tool speed of 5,000 rpm and a turret with 12 positions. It does not say how many of those positions are driven, and no live tool power is given, so inspect the turret and ask for the tooling list.
03
The control row reads Fanuc 31i / NUM. That indicates two possible systems, not both on one machine. Identify the control before buying, because programs, posts and spares differ between the two.
04
No, it is not in Schaublin's current lineup. The listed figures have not been confirmed against a maker document, so verify spindle speed, bar bore and coolant pressure on the machine. Weight is listed at about 3,200 kg for transport planning.
