Citizen Cincom M32-V

The Citizen Cincom M32-V is a 32 mm sliding-headstock (Swiss-type) automatic lathe built around Citizen's gang-plus-turret layout: a gang tool post and a 10-station turret working on the same bar. Bar capacity is 32 mm dia., or 38 mm dia. as an option, and the headstock strokes up to 320 mm per chucking. Front and back spindles both reach 8,000 rpm, each driven by a 5.5/7.5 kW motor.

Of the three M32 variants Citizen currently lists, the V has the plainest back end. Its tool count is 25 to 27 +α: 5 turning tools in 16 mm Sq. shanks, 5 to 7 cross drills, the 10 turret stations and 5 drills on the back tool post. The Cincom M32-VII takes the back tool post to max. 9 drills and adds a Y3 axis rapiding at 32 m/min, and the M32-VIII adds a B-axis. If the back-end work on your parts is a handful of axial holes and threads, the V does it with fewer axes to program.

The turret carries the heavier cross work. Its rotary positions drill to 12 mm dia. and tap M12 at up to 6,000 rpm on a 2.2 kW drive. Rotary tools on the gang post are aimed at smaller features: 8 mm dia. drilling, M8 tapping and max. 9,000 rpm, also from 2.2 kW. Back rotary tools stop at 8 mm dia. and M6 on a 1.0 kW motor, so a large tapped hole on the cut-off end belongs on the back spindle as a stationary operation, where the table allows 12 mm dia. and M12.

Rapids are 32 m/min on X1, Y1, Z1, Z2, X3 and Z3, with X2 at 18 m/min and Y2 at 12 m/min. Parts up to 145 mm long are ejected through the standard recovery unit.

Plan the installation around 4,300 kg on a W2,860 × D1,465 × H1,900 mm footprint. The electrical rows are 24 kVA, 13.1 kVA average under load, 79 A full-load current and a 100 A main breaker, and the pneumatic unit needs 0.5 MPa at 110 NL/min when stationary.
