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 E32-VIII is a 32 mm (1.26 in) sliding-headstock lathe with 8 axes and 28 to 32 tools, listed with a 200 mm (7.87 in) maximum machining length. It is not in Citizen's current lineup, and its table has not been checked against a Citizen source, so treat the figures here as the listed ones and confirm them on any machine you inspect.

The main spindle is listed at 8,000 rpm with a 3.7/5.5 kW (5/7.4 HP) motor and a 38 mm (1.50 in) bore, which leaves room for 32 mm bar. The back spindle is listed at the same 8,000 rpm but with a much smaller 1.1/1.5 kW (1.5/2 HP) motor, so heavy back-end drilling will be slower than the same operation at the front. The guide bush is standard on the listed figures, with guide-bushless running as an option, and LFV chip breaking is also listed as optional.

With 8 axes the machine can overlap front and back work, and the listed rapid traverse is 24 m/min. For a 32 mm machine, the listed power consumption of 7.0 kVA rated is modest.

For installation, the listed dimensions are 2,200 x 1,520 x 1,730 mm (86.6 x 59.8 x 68.1 in) and the weight 2,400 kg (5,291 lbs). The listed control is a FANUC 32i-B with Citizen software. On a used machine, check whether the LFV and guide-bushless options were fitted, since the table lists both as optional.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Takes bar up to 32 mm (1.26 in) through a 38 mm (1.50 in) spindle bore
8 axes listed, so front and back operations can overlap
Main spindle listed at 8,000 rpm with a 3.7/5.5 kW (5/7.4 HP) motor
Listed power consumption of 7.0 kVA rated
Guide-bushless running and LFV chip breaking listed as options

Limitations

Not in Citizen's current lineup and the listed figures are unverified
Back spindle motor listed at only 1.1/1.5 kW (1.5/2 HP), limiting heavy back-end work
LFV chip breaking and guide-bushless running are options, so a given machine may have neither
Weighs 2,400 kg (5,291 lbs) on a listed footprint of 2,200 x 1,520 mm

Best For

Parts up to 32 mm with work on both ends Overlapped front and back machining on 8 axes Used-machine buyers needing 32 mm capacity

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the Cincom E32-VIII still in production?

It is not in Citizen's current lineup, so an E32-VIII for sale today will be used. The figures on this page are the listed ones and have not been checked against a Citizen source; confirm bar capacity, axis count and options on the machine.

02 Does the E32-VIII have LFV chip breaking?

The table lists LFV chip breaking as optional, so it depends on how the individual machine was ordered. Guide-bushless running is also listed as an option, with the guide bush as standard. Check the machine's option list or parameter settings before buying.

03 How strong is the E32-VIII's back spindle?

The back spindle is listed at 8,000 rpm with a 1.1/1.5 kW (1.5/2 HP) motor, against 3.7/5.5 kW (5/7.4 HP) for the main spindle. That suits facing, chamfering and moderate drilling on the back end, but large drills in tough material will be slow.

04 What size and weight is the E32-VIII?

The listed dimensions are 2,200 x 1,520 x 1,730 mm (86.6 x 59.8 x 68.1 in) and the listed weight 2,400 kg (5,291 lbs). The listed power consumption is 7.0 kVA rated. Allow extra length for the bar feeder.
