How much does the Tornos MultiSwiss 6x32 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a multi-spindle automatic in this class — not a quote from Tornos. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Tornos MultiSwiss 6x32 is the large-bar machine of the MultiSwiss range: six spindles for stock from 8 to 32 mm and parts up to 65 mm long, with 11.00 kW and 20 Nm at each spindle. Top speed is 6,000 rpm. That is lower than the 8,000 rpm of the MultiSwiss 6x16 and the MultiSwiss 8x26, and the trade of speed for torque is what sets this model apart.
It shares a frame size and services with the MultiSwiss 8x26: both are 9000 mm long, 2260 mm wide and 2160 mm high, with 140 kW installed and a 2000 l oil tank. The capacity is spent differently. The MultiSwiss 8x26 puts eight spindles, 18 linear axes and 31 tool positions on bar up to 26 mm, while the MultiSwiss 6x32 has six spindles, 14 linear axes and 20 tool positions on bar up to 32 mm. Pick this one for diameter and torque, the other for operation count.
The main spindles travel 75 mm in Z for the 65 mm part length, and maximum remnant length is 120 mm. Main operation has 5 cross slides plus 1 for cutting, and up to 3 Y axes can be added as an option. The pick-off spindle is faster than the main spindles at 8,000 rpm, with an 11.00 kW motor, 15.00 Nm and a 150 mm Z stroke. Four tools can be mounted for back operation.
Cutting oil is filtered to 50 μm. The standard pump delivers 140 l/min, and the high-pressure pump options are listed at 35 l/min (option A) and 37 l/min (option B). At 14,800 kg, the machine needs its floor loading and access route checked before anything else.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 20 Nm and 11.00 kW at each of six spindles, against 17.30 Nm on the MultiSwiss 8x26 and 8 Nm on the MultiSwiss 6x16
- Bar capacity from 8 to 32 mm, with parts up to 65 mm long
- Pick-off spindle at 8,000 rpm with 11.00 kW and 15.00 Nm, and 4 tools for back operation
- A 2000 l oil tank and a 140 l/min standard cutting oil pump
- Up to 3 Y axes are available as an option
Limitations
- Main spindles stop at 6,000 rpm, which holds back surface speed at the small end of the 8 to 32 mm range
- Minimum bar is 8 mm; smaller stock belongs on the MultiSwiss 6x16, which starts at 4 mm
- 9000 mm long, 14,800 kg and 140 kW installed make this a major installation
- Y axes are an option and not part of the base machine
- 20 tool positions, against 31 on the MultiSwiss 8x26

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Bar capacity is 8-32 mm and maximum part length is 65 mm. The main spindle Z stroke is 75 mm and the maximum remnant length is 120 mm, which is worth including in material calculations on large-diameter or costly bar.
02
They share the same 9000 mm length, 140 kW of installed power and 2000 l tank. The MultiSwiss 6x32 takes bar up to 32 mm with 20 Nm per spindle at up to 6,000 rpm and has 20 tool positions. The MultiSwiss 8x26 stops at 26 mm bar but has eight spindles, 31 tool positions, 17.30 Nm and 8,000 rpm. Bar diameter and the number of operations in the part decide it.
03
The MultiSwiss 6x32 runs to 6,000 rpm with 11.00 kW and 20 Nm per spindle. The MultiSwiss 6x16 runs to 8,000 rpm with 5.60 kW and 8 Nm. Larger bar needs torque more than speed, because surface speed rises with diameter, so the bigger machine is geared toward heavier cuts on larger stock.
04
The pick-off spindle runs to 8,000 rpm with an 11.00 kW motor and 15.00 Nm, and has a 150 mm Z stroke. The maximum number of tools for back operation is 4, twice what the MultiSwiss 6x16 offers with its 2.
05
The machine is 9000 mm long, 2260 mm wide and 2160 mm high and weighs 14,800 kg. Installed power is 140 kW. The oil tank holds 2000 l, the standard cutting oil pump delivers 140 l/min, and filtration is 50 μm. Programming is through TB-DECO ADV on an integrated PC.
