Multispindle automatic lathes

20 Machines
Multi-spindle lathes are characterized by the presence of multiple horizontal spindles, usually ranging from a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 12, housed in the headstock. Each spindle can operate at different speeds, allowing multiple parts to be machined simultaneously and ensuring unmatched productivity compared to traditional lathes.These multi-spindle lathes are specialized machines designed for the serial production of small parts, such as those used in highly specialized industrial sectors like medical and watchmaking, where repeatability and production efficiency are essential requirements.

Distinctive features of multi-spindle lathes

Multi-spindle lathes are generally divided into two main categories, each with its own specific characteristics and application areas:

Cam-controlled multi-spindle lathes

Automatic multi-spindle cam lathes have been present on the market for a very long time and are known for their extremely high production rates.... However, they have the disadvantage of being very difficult to configure. These lathes require long setup times and therefore a high level of technical skill from the operator.Today, the use of cam-operated multi-spindle lathes is almost exclusively limited to very large-scale production runs, where the machine is not required to offer flexibility but rather maximum hourly productivity.

CNC multi-spindle lathes

The use of CNC multi-spindle lathes has become increasingly appreciated and widespread, as electronics have replaced cams, ensuring high flexibility and extremely short setup times. Since the early 2000s, the multi-spindle lathe has experienced a true renaissance thanks to the introduction of CNC technology, allowing its use for machining different types of products in small production batches.This characteristic plays a key role in the competitiveness of today’s machine tools, making CNC multi-spindle lathes extremely versatile and suitable for modern production needs.

Advanced configurations of available multi-spindle lathes

The multi-spindle lathes available in our catalog include several advanced technical configurations:
  • 6-spindle lathes: standard configuration for high productivity
  • Pick-up systems: for complete automation of the production cycle
  • Integrated bar feeders: continuous automatic feeding
  • Driven tools: for milling and drilling operations
  • Y-axis: for off-center machining
  • Multiple C-axes: for angular positioning of parts

The renaissance of multi-spindle lathes in the digital era

Since the 2000s, multi-spindle lathes have undergone a true renaissance thanks to the introduction of CNC technology. This evolution has made it possible to adapt these machines—traditionally used only for rigid, large-scale production—to the machining of different products in small production batches, while maintaining high productivity levels.The flexibility offered by modern CNC multi-spindle lathes, combined with drastically reduced setup times compared to cam versions, represents a decisive competitive advantage for companies that require high productivity without sacrificing versatility.Explore our selection of used multi-spindle lathes and discover how these machines can multiply your production capacity, ensuring efficiency, precision, and reliability with the Makinate quality guarantee.
