How much does the Schutte SC 50 CNC Multi-Spindle Automatic 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 50 CNC is listed as a six-spindle automatic for 50 mm (1.97 in) bar, with 15 kW (20 hp) at each spindle and a maximum spindle speed of 5,000 rpm. It is not in Schutte's current lineup, so it may be an older model, and the listed figures should be checked against the machine.
The power row is stated per spindle, which matters on a multi-spindle: all six stations can be loaded at once without drawing on one shared rating. On 50 mm (1.97 in) stock the 5,000 rpm limit is seldom the constraint. Rigidity and power are, and the listed weight of approximately 22,000 kg (48,500 lb) points the same way.
There are 6 cross slide stations plus multiple radial and end-working slides, but the table does not count the additional slides. Bar up to 3,000 mm (118 in) long is fed by an external bar feeder, so the installation is longer than the machine. No footprint is listed.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 15 kW (20 hp) per spindle, so each station has its own rated power
- 50 mm (1.97 in) bar capacity on six spindles
- Multiple radial and end-working slides in addition to the 6 cross slide stations
Limitations
- Maximum spindle speed is 5,000 rpm, which limits cutting speed on small-diameter work
- Approximately 22,000 kg (48,500 lb), plus an external bar feeder for 3,000 mm (118 in) bar, makes for a large installation
- The listed figures do not mention live tooling or back working

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Up to 50 mm (1.97 in) in diameter according to the listed figures. Bar length is 3,000 mm (118 in), loaded from an external bar feeder, so floor space behind the machine has to allow for the feeder.
02
The listed figure is 15 kW (20 hp) per spindle, with a maximum spindle speed of 5,000 rpm. Because the rating is given per spindle, the six stations are not shown sharing a single motor's output.
03
Approximately 22,000 kg (48,500 lb) by the listed figures, which do not say whether that includes the external bar feeder. Floor loading and rigging should be checked before a move.
