Why buy a used Schütte multi-spindle lathe?

A used Schütte CNC multi-spindle lathe can be a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new equipment. Especially when expanding existing capacity, making replacement investments, or fulfilling new production runs, the machine’s price isn’t the only factor that matters. What’s crucial is whether the machine aligns with your range of parts, desired performance, existing automation, and internal manufacturing processes.

Multi-spindle lathes are designed for productive series production. Since multiple spindles operate simultaneously, machining steps can be performed in parallel. This enables very short cycle times for suitable turned parts. For companies with stable production volumes and recurring components, a multi-spindle lathe can therefore be a particularly efficient addition to the machine park.

When purchasing a used Schütte machine, the technical configuration and existing equipment are often more important than the year of manufacture alone. A machine with the right bar capacity, suitable spindle and slide configuration, powerful control system, existing peripherals, and documented history may be better suited for a specific task than a newer machine lacking the necessary equipment.

Among the most frequently sought-after used Schütte machines are, in particular, CNC models such as:

  • Schütte S 36 PC
  • Schütte AG 20
  • Schütte SG 18
  • Schütte SC 9-26
  • Schütte SC 9-46

These models are representative of the machines and series found on the used machinery market, and VIB has experience in their technical and commercial evaluation. Actual availability changes constantly. Not every model is available at all times; the current listings and the technical description of each individual machine are always decisive.

In addition to Schütte, we also have CNC multi-spindle lathes from other manufacturers for sale.

Selecting the Right Schütte CNC Machine for the Job

Anyone looking to purchase a used Schütte lathe should not base their selection solely on the model designation. A machine must be suited to the workpiece geometry, the raw material, the desired annual production volume, machining times, and the existing automation solutions. Therefore, it is advisable to define the most important technical and organizational requirements before making an inquiry.

Important selection criteria include, among others:

  • Maximum and typical bar capacity
  • Number of spindles and machining stations required
  • Type of machining, such as turning, drilling, threading, milling, or cross-machining
  • Required CNC functions and existing control system
  • Number, design, and travel ranges of the CNC slides
  • Main and counter-spindle machining, if required for the component
  • Desired cycle time and planned annual production volume
  • Material and chip volume
  • Existing tools, clamping devices, or special attachments
  • Bar loading magazine, parts conveyor, and other automation
  • Coolant supply, high-pressure system, filtration technology, and chip conveyor
  • Space requirements, foundation, power supply, and interfaces within the plant

    Especially with used CNC multi-spindle lathes, individual models often differ significantly. Two machines from the same series can have completely different configurations. For example, the control system, number of CNC axes, tooling systems, bar feeder, fire suppression system, high-pressure coolant system, filtration system, or workpiece discharge system can be decisive factors in determining whether a machine can be economically integrated into your production process.

    Therefore, please provide us with as much specific information as possible in your inquiry: a drawing or photo of the workpiece, material, diameter range, desired cycle time, quantity, available bar stock, and minimum technical requirements. Based on this information, we can more accurately assess whether a Schütte machine currently on offer meets your needs.

    Schütte S 36 PC, AG 20, SG 18, and SC Series

    Schütte is known in the field of multi-spindle turning technology for its robust and productive machine designs. Various generations, sizes, and configurations are available on the used machine market. It therefore makes sense for prospective buyers to use the series as a starting point but always evaluate the specific machine based on its equipment.

    A used Schuette S 36 PC may be of interest for series production tasks within the appropriate diameter range. When evaluating the machine, factors such as the CNC equipment, the available slides, the tooling, the peripherals, and its suitability for your specific range of parts are relevant.

    The Schuette AG 20 is frequently mentioned in connection with compact multi-spindle applications. Here, too, the model designation alone is not the decisive factor. What matters are the specific configuration, possible additional units, thread-cutting devices, tooling, technical condition, and existing automation components.

    When evaluating a used Schuette SG 18, you should determine which machining steps can be performed with the existing configuration. Relevant factors include, for example, the spindle and slide configuration, the control system, changeover capabilities, tool interfaces, and the scope of delivery.

    The Schuette SC 9-26 and Schuette SC 9-46 CNC series are particularly sought after by companies that need a CNC multi-spindle lathe for productive series production. The numbers in the model designations are no substitute for inspecting the specific machine. The actual technical specifications, the available equipment, the diameter range, the axis configuration, and any auxiliary units and automation features are what matter when making an investment decision.

    If you are specifically looking for a used Schütte SC 9-26 or a used Schütte SC 9-46, please send your requirements to VIB. Even if a suitable model does not immediately appear in the online listing, submitting a specific search request can be worthwhile. Used machines often become available on short notice, for example, due to production changes, capacity adjustments, relocations, or the sale of entire manufacturing divisions.

    Properly Assessing Condition, Features, and Inspection

    The technical condition is a key factor when purchasing a used multi-spindle lathe. For machines used in series production, cost-effectiveness depends not only on basic functionality. Equally important are repeatability, running performance, maintenance condition, the condition of spindles and guides, the functionality of the control system, and the availability and quality of accessories.

    VIB compiles available information on the year of manufacture, control system, features, accessories, and condition, and categorizes this information technically for prospective buyers. The specific inspection depends on the machine in question and the information available at the location. If a machine is still connected and located on-site, a site visit and test run can be arranged by appointment. This gives you the opportunity to get a sense of the machine, its equipment, and—as far as possible—its operational condition.

    When inspecting a used Schütte CNC machine, the following points, among others, should be checked:

    • Function of the control system, operating controls, and safety components
    • Condition of spindles, slides, guides, and tool holders
    • Available tool holders, clamping devices, and interchangeable parts
    • Condition of the coolant system, filter system, and chip conveyor
    • Function of the bar-loading magazine, parts conveyor, and automation
    • Available documentation, schematics, programs, and maintenance records
    • Scope of delivery as well as requirements related to disassembly and loading

    An on-site inspection does not automatically replace an individual acceptance agreement. The exact scope of delivery, known characteristics, possible inspections, and terms of the purchase agreement should therefore be clearly defined for each machine. This helps avoid misunderstandings and lays the foundation for a predictable investment.

    From the Machine Inquiry to Export

    Purchasing a used Schütte multi-spindle lathe involves more than just selecting a machine. Especially with large CNC multi-spindle lathes, disassembly, loading, transport, insurance, packaging, customs, and documentation must be considered well in advance. Depending on the project, VIB supports customers through these steps and coordinates the practical arrangements with all parties involved.

    Following your inquiry, we first clarify the essential technical requirements. If a suitable machine is found, you will receive the available information regarding the model, year of manufacture, control system, technical specifications, equipment, and location. If circumstances permit, a site visit or test run can be arranged. Once the scope of delivery and the commercial terms have been clarified, planning for disassembly and loading begins.

    For international buyers, VIB assists with organizing transportation, export packaging, and the necessary customs and export documents. Thorough preparation is crucial, especially for deliveries outside Germany or outside the European Union. This includes, among other things, the correct description of the machine, agreed-upon delivery terms, packaging requirements, and the timely provision of the necessary documentation.

    A well-formulated inquiry saves time for both parties. Therefore, in addition to the desired Schütte model, please also provide us with the destination, the desired delivery time, your preferred pickup or delivery date, and any special requirements regarding transport and export. This allows VIB to review the inquiry more efficiently and prepare a reliable response.
