How much does the Schutte SC 36 CNC Multi-Spindle Automatic Lathe cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a multi-spindle automatic in this class — not a quote from Schutte. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Schutte SC 36 CNC is listed as a six-spindle automatic lathe for 36 mm (1.42 in) bar, with a maximum spindle speed of 8,000 RPM and 37 kW (50 hp) of spindle motor power. It does not appear in Schutte's current lineup and may be an older model.
Slides are listed as 6 cross slides plus 6 end-working slides, one of each for every spindle position, so a station can work the outside diameter and the end of the bar in the same index. Nothing in the listed figures mentions live tooling or back working. Do not assume either; look at the machine.
Bar feed capacity is 3,200 mm (126 in) bar length, and the weight is approximately 12,500 kg (27,500 lb). The control row includes Schutte iXcell.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 36 mm (1.42 in) bar capacity at up to 8,000 RPM
- 37 kW (50 hp) of spindle motor power
- 6 cross slides plus 6 end-working slides, so every station can cut radially and axially
- Bar feed capacity of 3,200 mm (126 in) bar length
Limitations
- The listed figures do not mention live tooling or back working, so milled features and second-side work cannot be assumed
- At approximately 12,500 kg (27,500 lb) the machine needs a checked floor and a rigging plan
