Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from Stama. Configuration moves it a long way.

Stama MC 326 — price

Est.$400,000 - $600,000

This is our best estimate for a machine of this type and class, built from published prices of comparable vertical machining centers (vmc) and typical dealer pricing. Stama has not published a list price for the Stama MC 326 that we can cite. Treat it as a planning number, not a quote.

What moves the final price

  • Spindle, control and probing options
  • Tool changer capacity and tooling package
  • Automation — pallet changers, bar feeders, robot cells
  • Freight, rigging, installation and training
  • Region, dealer and time of year

Overview

The Stama MC 326 is listed as a twin-spindle vertical machining center with the two spindles 300 mm apart, centre to centre, and travels of 600 mm (23.6 in) in X, 400 mm (15.7 in) in Y and 350 mm (13.8 in) in Z. Stama's current lineup does not include this model. Nothing in the table is confirmed by the maker; these are the listed figures.

The spacing governs the rest. Two identical parts are fixtured 300 mm apart and cut together, so the fixture pitch has to match the spindles and each part has to fit its own 300 x 300 x 300 mm station. On a fixed-spacing twin-spindle, tool lengths usually have to be matched pair by pair, so ask how this machine compensates for length differences between the two spindles.

Standard spindle speed is 10,000 RPM, with 18,000 RPM listed as optional, on HSK-A50 with 22 kW (29.5 hp) per spindle. At 10,000 RPM the standard spindle suits steel and cast iron better than small tools in aluminium. A machine with the 18,000 RPM option is a different proposition, so establish which spindle is fitted before comparing cycle times.

Rapids are 50 m/min (1,969 ipm). Each spindle has 30 tools, 60 in total, and positioning accuracy is listed as 0.005 mm. The table gives no torque, table load or machine weight.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • Two spindles at a fixed 300 mm centre-to-centre spacing cut two parts per cycle
  • 22 kW (29.5 hp) per spindle on HSK-A50
  • Travels of 600 mm (23.6 in) in X, 400 mm (15.7 in) in Y and 350 mm (13.8 in) in Z
  • Rapid traverse of 50 m/min (1,969 ipm)
  • 30 tools per spindle, 60 in total

Limitations

  • Standard spindle speed is 10,000 RPM; 18,000 RPM is listed only as an option
  • The 300 mm spindle spacing fixes the fixture pitch and limits each part to 300 x 300 x 300 mm
  • No rotary axis rows appear in the table
  • Torque, table load and machine weight are not listed
06

Best For

Pairs of identical parts fixtured at a 300 mm pitch Steel and cast iron parts milled and drilled at up to 10,000 RPM Aluminium work on machines fitted with the 18,000 RPM option Production parts within 300 x 300 x 300 mm per station

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How far apart are the spindles on the MC 326?

Spindle spacing is listed as 300 mm, centre to centre. Fixtures have to hold the two parts at that pitch, and the workpiece size is listed as 300 x 300 x 300 mm per station.

02 What spindle speeds are available on the MC 326?

The listed maximum is 10,000 RPM as standard, with 18,000 RPM as an option. Both spindles are HSK-A50 with 22 kW (29.5 hp) each. On a second-hand machine, check which speed version is installed.

03 What are the axis travels of the MC 326?

The listed travels are 600 mm (23.6 in) in X, 400 mm (15.7 in) in Y and 350 mm (13.8 in) in Z, with a rapid traverse of 50 m/min (1,969 ipm). No rotary axis is listed.

04 How is the MC 326 different from the MC 422/Twin?

The MC 326 is listed as a twin-spindle with a fixed 300 mm spacing and one 600 mm (23.6 in) X travel. The MC 422/Twin is listed as two independent units with 420 mm of X per station, 15,000 RPM spindles and a rapid traverse of 60 m/min (2,362 ipm).
