The Schütte 26 DNT is a multi-spindle automatic lathe — sometimes referred to as a multi-spindle screw machine — a type of machine tool designed for high-volume, precision turning of bar stock into finished components. Multi-spindle automatics of this kind are a cornerstone of high-productivity machining environments, simultaneously working on multiple parts across several spindles to achieve throughput that far exceeds what a conventional single-spindle lathe can deliver. Schütte is a well-established German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in the design and production of multi-spindle automatic lathes, serving industries such as automotive, hydraulics, pneumatics, and general precision engineering.
This example was built in 1992 and is offered in used condition from a location in Belgium. According to the seller's data, the machine carries the type designation SF 26 DNT and accommodates bar stock in a range of cross-sectional profiles: round rod up to 26 mm in diameter, square bar up to 19 mm, hexagonal bar up to 22 mm, and octagonal bar up to 24 mm. The spindle diameter is 270 mm, and the centre hole diameter measures 70 mm.
Slide travel is documented in detail. The longitudinal slide offers a total travel of 80 mm with a working travel of 63 mm under normal configuration, extending to 125 mm total and 98 mm working travel in the special configuration. The cross slides are arranged across three positions: the top and middle slides each provide 40 mm total travel and 25 mm working travel, while the bottom slide offers 50 mm total travel and 31 mm working travel.
The spindle speed system is notably flexible, with 49 discrete speeds available across two ranges. Range I spans 530 to 3,750 rpm, and Range II spans 236 to 1,700 rpm, giving the operator a broad selection to suit different materials and cutting conditions. The machine has a footprint of 3,970 mm in length by 1,595 mm in width and a stated weight of 6,500 kg.
