CITIZEN A20 V11

The A20 has been designed for part diameters up to Ø 20 mm and part lengths up to 165 mm in medium to high batch sizes. It boasts a high stability, rigidity & high accuracy, as well as the short machining times are further outstanding features of this machine.

MIYANO BNA-42DHY

The BNA series aims to set the new standard for machines for cutting bar stock, based on the concept of “space savings and sophisticated functions”. The BNA42DHY achieves further shortening of cycle times by adding a compact sub-turret to provide superimposition machining and other forms of simultaneous machining. The BNA series offers high performance in compact space, round-the-clock stability and accuracy; and ease of use for fast set-ups and quick changeovers.

CITIZEN L20

The rotary tools on the gang tool post feature B-axis control, allowing drilling and milling of angle features, and contouring with simultaneous 4-axis control. The swivel angle of 135°, from 90° to -45° enables the B-axis to be used for both front and back machining. The back working tool post utilises Y-axis control for up to 8 fixed or rotary end-face or cross working tool holders for increased overlapped machining capability.

CITIZEN A32

The A32 Type VII is a state-of-the-art Swiss Turning Center that is strong, powerful and rigid for exceptional cutting performance. With features such as a rapid feed rate of 45 m/min, high-speed processing with the latest NC unit and Citizen’s unique streamline control, it achieves 30% higher productivity than previous machines.
