Overview

The Miyano BNA-42MSY is a small two-spindle lathe for 42 mm (1.65 in) bar on the main spindle, with an 8-station turret whose half-indexing gives 16 effective positions, all 8 stations live. The sub spindle takes 34 mm (1.34 in) as standard, with 42 mm listed as an option. Citizen's current lineup does not include the BNA-42MSY, so it is normally a used purchase.

The half-indexing turret is the point of this model. Tools can sit between the 8 main stations, which doubles the positions available without a bigger turret. The 8 live stations run to 6,000 RPM, but their drive is rated 1.0 kW (12 Nm), so the milling side is for drilling, tapping and light cuts.

The main spindle turns to 6,000 RPM with 11/7.5 kW (15/10 hp); the sub spindle runs to 5,000 RPM with 5.5/3.7 kW (7.5/5 hp). Travels are 140 mm (5.51 in) on X1, 235 mm (9.25 in) on Z1, 70 mm (+/-35 mm) on Y1, 129 mm (5.08 in) on X2 and 360 mm (14.17 in) on Z2, and the maximum machining length is 100 mm (3.94 in). Rapids are 20 m/min (787 ipm) on X1, Z1 and Z2 and 12 m/min (472 ipm) on Y1 and X2. Tools are 20mm Sq. with 25mm Dia. drill shanks.

The installation is light: 3,000kg, 1,620mm high, 2,388×1,450mm of floor and a 29 kVA supply, with a Mitsubishi CNC. The Miyano BNA-42DHY, at 3,100kg, takes a different route with a second, 6-station lower turret.

Light installation: 3,000kg, 2,388×1,450mm and 29 kVA

Limitations

Live tool drive rated 1.0 kW (12 Nm), so milling is limited to light cuts
Maximum machining length of 100 mm (3.94 in)
Sub spindle rated 5.5/3.7 kW (7.5/5 hp), half the main spindle's 11/7.5 kW (15/10 hp)
Y1 and X2 rapid at 12 m/min (472 ipm)

Best For

Small bar parts up to 42 mm (1.65 in) machined on both ends Jobs that need more tool positions than 8 stations offer Drilling and tapping with 6,000 RPM live tools Shops with a 29 kVA supply and limited floor

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does half-indexing do on the Miyano BNA-42MSY?

It lets the 8-station turret stop between its stations, giving 16 effective positions. All 8 stations are live, running to 6,000 RPM, with the live tool drive rated 1.0 kW (12 Nm).

02 Can the sub spindle take 42 mm bar?

As standard the sub spindle takes 34 mm (1.34 in), and 42 mm is listed as an option. The main spindle takes 42 mm (1.65 in). On a used machine, check which sub spindle was fitted before planning full-diameter transfers.

03 How does it differ from the Miyano BNA-42DHY?

The Miyano BNA-42DHY has two turrets, an 8-station upper and a 6-station lower, runs revolving tools to 5,000 RPM and weighs 3,100kg. The BNA-42MSY has an 8-station half-indexing turret with 16 effective positions, live tools to 6,000 RPM and a weight of 3,000kg.

04 What are the travels on the BNA-42MSY?

X1 140 mm (5.51 in), Z1 235 mm (9.25 in), Y1 70 mm (+/-35 mm), X2 129 mm (5.08 in) and Z2 360 mm (14.17 in). Rapids are 20 m/min (787 ipm) on X1, Z1 and Z2 and 12 m/min (472 ipm) on Y1 and X2.
