Citizen To Show 12 Machines, Including A European Launch At MACH (Stand 5640)

A highlight is the European launch of the 5-axis Citizen Cincom A20-VII CNC sliding head turn-mill centre.

The machine has a bar capacity up to 25 mm as an option and the ability to be reset between guide bush and non-guide bush for economic machining of shorter workpieces, 21 tools and 10,000 rpm spindle.

In all, 12 CNC machines from the Cincom and Miyano fixed head range of turn-mill centres are planned for demonstrations at the show.

From the Citizen stable, there are seven machines, including the A20-VII, plus five L-Series machines. With each L-Series machine featuring guide bush/non-guide bush capability, the line-up includes a 7-axis L32-XII with B- and Y2- axes, an entry level 5-axis L32-VIII, a 5-axis L20VIII and a L20XII with B- and Y- axes and an L12-VII having a high speed 15,000 rpm spindle. A top-of-the-range M32 will be installed with a high level VIII specification having B-axis contouring and 4-axis simultaneous control.

Meanwhile, there are five machines under the Miyano banner. They include the latest sixth generation of BNJ-51SY6 with robot loading, overlapping main 12-station and 6-station sub-turrets, a 7-axis BNE-51MSY with an 11 kW main spindle able to provide three tool simultaneous cutting, and two versions of the BNA. The BNA-42DHY has a Y-axis main turret and compact sub-turret enabling simultaneous left and right approach processing and the BNA-42GTY with up to 45 tools and 3-axis control enables group overlapping of tools to provide even higher productivity.

Also on the Citizen stand will be the compact, high-precision GN3200W twin-spindle lathe with integrated high speed gentry loading and part transfer.
