Machine Comparison
Citizen Miyano ABX-65SYY vs Citizen Miyano BNX-65MSY
Citizen Machinery vs Citizen Machinery · CNC Lathes
Summary
The Citizen Miyano ABX-65SYY and Citizen Miyano BNX-65MSY both take 65 mm (2.56 in) bar and share an 18.5 / 15 kW (25 / 20 HP) spindle and 6,000 RPM live tools, but they are listed in different categories and serve different jobs. The ABX-65SYY is a twin-turret turning center with 12 per turret (24 total) tools on a Mitsubishi M80W dual-path control. The BNX-65MSY is a single-turret mill-turn machine with 12 tools on a Mitsubishi M830W control.
The BNX-65MSY runs its main and sub-spindles to 5,000 RPM against 4,500 RPM, and needs less floor space: 2,990 x 1,560 mm against 3,290×2,204mm. The ABX-65SYY doubles the turret count, so two tools can cut at once.

Advantages
Citizen Miyano ABX-65SYY
- Two turrets with 12 per turret (24 total) tools against 12
- Mitsubishi M80W dual-path control for simultaneous cutting on both turrets
- Aimed at complex automotive, aerospace and hydraulic parts with features on both ends
Citizen Miyano BNX-65MSY
- 5,000 RPM main and sub-spindles against 4,500 RPM
- Smaller floor space: 2,990 x 1,560 mm against 3,290×2,204mm
- Aimed at oil and gas fittings, valve bodies and couplings from 65 mm bar
Verdict
These machines serve different jobs. Choose the Citizen Miyano ABX-65SYY for high-volume complex parts with milled features on both ends, where two turrets and 24 tools cutting simultaneously reduce cycle time. Choose the Citizen Miyano BNX-65MSY for fittings, couplings and valve bodies from 65 mm bar where one turret is enough, the 5,000 RPM spindles help, and floor space is limited.
