Our best estimate for a swiss-type lathe in this class — not a quote from Citizen Machinery. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Citizen Cincom A32-VII is a sliding-headstock lathe for bar up to 32 mm (1.26 in), listed with a 12,000 RPM main spindle, a 10,000 RPM back spindle, 40 tools and LFV chip breaking as standard. The model is not in Citizen's current lineup. Anyone looking at one is buying used, and the listed figures should be confirmed on the machine.

Standard LFV is the feature that matters most for unattended running. Low-frequency vibration breaks the chip during turning and drilling, so materials that otherwise form long, stringy chips do not wrap around the tool or the part between operator checks. On a 32 mm Swiss-type that runs long bar loads overnight, that is often the difference between a full shift and a stopped machine.

The main spindle motor is listed at 3.7 / 5.5 kW (5 / 7.4 HP) and the back spindle at 1.5 / 2.2 kW (2 / 3 HP). The spindle bore is 38 mm (1.50 in). A guide bushing is fitted, with guide-bushless running as an option for short parts. Machining length is listed at 200 mm (7.87 in), axis count at 7 and rapid traverse at 32 m/min. Forty tool positions leave room for a full set of turning, drilling and live tools plus spares for long runs.

The listed control is a FANUC 32i-B with Citizen software, rated power 8.0 kVA. The machine measures 2,350 x 1,600 x 1,800 mm (92.5 x 63 x 70.9 in) and weighs 2,600 kg (5,732 lbs). For the Citizen A32 the listed main spindle speed is 8,000 RPM with 38 tools.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

LFV chip breaking listed as standard, for materials that form stringy chips
Main spindle to 12,000 RPM and back spindle to 10,000 RPM
40 tool positions on a 7-axis machine
32 mm (1.26 in) bar through a 38 mm (1.50 in) spindle bore, with a guide-bushless option
3.7 / 5.5 kW (5 / 7.4 HP) main spindle motor

Limitations

Not in Citizen's current lineup; listed figures need confirming on any machine offered
Back spindle motor is 1.5 / 2.2 kW (2 / 3 HP), which keeps back-end cuts light
Guide-bushless running is an option, so a given machine may not have it
Needs 2,350 x 1,600 x 1,800 mm (92.5 x 63 x 70.9 in) plus room for a bar feeder

Best For

Unattended Swiss-type runs from bar up to 32 mm Parts in materials that produce long, stringy chips Complex parts needing up to 40 tools

Frequently Asked Questions
