2018 DMG Mori Sprint 32/8 CNC Swiss Lathe with Barfeeder

The 2018 DMG Mori Sprint 32/8 CNC Swiss Lathe represents the pinnacle of compact, high-precision turning solutions with its 1.26 inch bar capacity, 8500 RPM main and sub-spindles, and full 8-axis control architecture. Designed for high-performance machining of small components, this lathe supports up to 8 driven tool stations with speeds reaching 6000 RPM, empowering it to simultaneously execute front, rear, and cross operations with unrivaled efficiency. Its twin-spindle, twin-C-axis layout, paired with FANUC 32i-B Plus control and graphical load monitoring, ensures seamless operation even during complex, multi-feature work cycles. A high-pressure coolant system and air handler provide the thermal control and chip evacuation required for continuous operation in tight-tolerance environments.

When compared to conventional sliding-headstock lathes limited to fewer axes and non-simultaneous tooling, the Sprint 32/8 outperforms by enabling two tools to cut concurrently—sharply reducing cycle times. This machine offers a distinct productivity edge over models like the Citizen A20, particularly for shops requiring extensive backworking, live-tool flexibility, and micro-finish capability in one compact cell.
