Citizen Miyano BNA-42DHY vs Citizen Miyano BNA-42GTY
Citizen Machinery vs Citizen Machinery · Mill-Turn Machines
Summary
The Citizen Miyano BNA-42DHY and the Citizen Miyano BNA-42GTY are compact Citizen mill-turn machines for short bar parts machined on both ends. Citizen publishes few comparable figures for this pair: the table has two rows, weight and floor space.
The BNA-42DHY is the lighter machine at 3,100 kg against 3,750 kg, and the two occupy nearly the same floor: 2,350×1,450 mm against 2,350×1,475 mm. Citizen describes the DHY for turning-heavy parts with a few milled or cross-drilled features, and the GTY for jobs that need up to eight driven tools.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | Citizen Miyano BNA-42DHY | Citizen Miyano BNA-42GTY |
|---|---|---|
| Machine Weight | 3,100kg | 3,750 kg |
| Floor Space | 2,350×1,450mm | 2,350×1,475 mm |
Advantages
Citizen Miyano BNA-42DHY
- Lighter machine at 3,100 kg against 3,750 kg
- Slightly smaller footprint, 2,350×1,450 mm against 2,350×1,475 mm
- Aimed at turning-heavy parts with a few milled or cross-drilled features
Citizen Miyano BNA-42GTY
- Described for jobs that need up to eight driven tools
- Short bar parts machined on both ends within a short machining length
Verdict
The published figures barely separate these two, so choose by the part. The Citizen Miyano BNA-42DHY fits turning-heavy short parts with only a few milled or cross-drilled features, in the lighter 3,100 kg machine. The Citizen Miyano BNA-42GTY fits short parts whose back-end and cross work call for up to eight driven tools. Both sit on almost the same floor space, so space will rarely decide it.
