How much does the Citizen Cincom L32-XII ATC cost?
Estimated price range
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 L32-XII ATC is a 32 mm sliding-headstock lathe with an automatic tool changer and a programmable B-axis, listed with an 8,000 rpm main spindle and a 2,900 kg (6,393 lbs) weight. It is not in Citizen's current lineup, and no current Citizen product page carries its table, so everything below is the listed figures only.
The tool changer is what sets this machine apart. Its tooling spindle is listed at 12,000 rpm on a 2.2 kW motor, taking JBS-15T holders with ER16 collets and tools up to 30 mm in outside diameter, with 13 tools in the ATC and a tool change time of 4.0 sec. That allows more milling and drilling operations than fixed rotary positions alone, at the cost of a pause for every change.
The rest of the listing describes the usual 32 mm platform: front drilling to 12 mm and M12 tapping, a 32 mm back spindle chuck that drills 10 mm and taps M10 with 80 mm of workpiece protrusion, and LFV chip breaking on both spindles. Several rows disagree with each other, among them the spindle bore, the number of mountable tools and the power consumption, so confirm those on the machine itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures give 13 ATC tools in JBS-15T holders with ER16 collets, a maximum tool outside diameter of 30 mm, a 12,000 rpm tooling spindle on a 2.2 kW motor and a tool change time of 4.0 sec.
02
No. It is not in Citizen's current lineup, and no current Citizen product page carries its table, so its figures cannot be confirmed against the manufacturer. Several of the listed rows also conflict with each other.
03
Bar capacity is 32 mm and the main spindle runs to 8,000 rpm. The back spindle chuck takes 32 mm, drills up to 10 mm and taps up to M10, with up to 80 mm of the workpiece protruding for back machining.
04
The spindle bore, the number of mountable tools and the power consumption, because each is listed with two values. The listed electrical figures include a 60 A main breaker and the air supply is given as 0.5 MPa.
