How much does the Citizen Miyano ABX-65THY cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from Citizen Machinery. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Miyano ABX-65THY is a three-turret, two-spindle turning center: three 12-station turrets, 36 stations in all, each with a Y stroke of 80 (±40) mm and room for 12 revolving tools, coordinated by a Mitsubishi M80W multi-path control. Citizen's current lineup does not include the ABX-65THY, so buyers will mostly be looking at used machines.
Both spindles carry the same 18.5 / 15 kW (25 / 20 HP) rating. On many two-spindle lathes the second spindle is the smaller one and only finishes the back face; here it can take roughing cuts as well, which helps balance the cycle between the two ends of the part. Each spindle has a 6-inch power chuck, and chuck work is listed to 300 mm (11.81 in) in diameter and 200 mm (7.87 in) in length.
The third turret is the reason to choose this machine. With three tool carriers, two can work one spindle while the third works the other, or each turret can take its own share of a long operation list. Turrets 1 and 3 have 270mm of Z travel and turret 2 has 550mm; all three move 190mm in X. The Zs stroke is 756mm and the spindle end faces sit 1031mm apart.
Rapids are 20 m/min on X, 24 m/min on Z and 12 m/min on Y, and driven tools run to 6,000 RPM. The machine weighs 11,300kg, stands 2,210mm high and needs 3,260×2,200mm of floor.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Three 12-station turrets, 36 stations, each turret holding up to 12 revolving tools
- Y axis on all three turrets with 80 (±40) mm of stroke
- Both spindles rated 18.5 / 15 kW (25 / 20 HP)
- Mitsubishi M80W multi-path control
