Citizen Machinery vs Citizen Machinery · CNC Lathes
Summary
The Citizen Miyano ABX-65THY and Citizen Miyano ABX-80SYY are multi-turret Citizen Miyano turning centers with the same 190 mm X and 80 mm (+/- 40 mm) Y travel, an 18.5 / 15 kW (25 / 20 HP) spindle and 6,000 RPM live tools. The headline difference: the ABX-65THY has three turrets for cycle time, the ABX-80SYY has two turrets and larger bar capacity.
The ABX-65THY carries 12 per turret (36 total) tools against 24 total, lists 13+ axes against 10, and runs its main and sub-spindles to 4,500 RPM against 3,500 RPM. The ABX-80SYY takes 80 mm (3.15 in) bar against 65 mm (2.56 in), 350 mm (13.78 in) chuck work against 300 mm (11.81 in), and 250 mm (9.84 in) of turning length against 200 mm (7.87 in).

Advantages
Citizen Miyano ABX-65THY
- Three turrets with 12 per turret (36 total) tools against 24 total
- 4,500 RPM main and sub-spindles against 3,500 RPM
- 13+ axes on a Mitsubishi M80W multi-path control against 10
Citizen Miyano ABX-80SYY
- 80 mm (3.15 in) bar capacity against 65 mm (2.56 in)
- 350 mm (13.78 in) chuck work against 300 mm (11.81 in)
- 250 mm (9.84 in) turning length against 200 mm (7.87 in)
- Slightly lighter at 10,900kg against 11,300kg
Verdict
Choose the Citizen Miyano ABX-65THY for high-volume automotive, aerospace and hydraulic parts up to 65 mm bar where a third turret and 36 tools cut cycle time enough to lower cost per part. Choose the Citizen Miyano ABX-80SYY for larger valve bodies, CV joint parts and fittings in the 65-80 mm range, where 80 mm bar capacity and 250 mm of turning length matter more than a third turret.
