CITIZEN FL-42 CNC LATHE

This compact CNC milling machine features a 6-inch chuck with a maximum bar capacity of 1.63 inches and machining length of 3.15 inches, making it ideal for precision small-part production. The spindle bore measures 1.82 inches, accommodating various tooling configurations with either 12 or 24 available tool stations. The primary milling motor delivers 1.3 HP, providing adequate power for general milling operations on smaller workpieces. A secondary sub-spindle with a maximum chuck diameter of 1.69 inches offers dual-spindle capability, powered by selectable 5 or 3 HP motors depending on operational requirements. The machine incorporates high-precision C-axis indexing with 0.001-degree accuracy, enabling sophisticated multi-axis machining and complex part geometries. Rapid traverse rates support efficient non-cutting movements across X and Z axes, while the positioning system ensures repeatable accuracy for consistent production runs. The machine's footprint measures 90 by 66.6 inches, requiring moderate floor space for integration into existing shop environments. With a total weight of 5,620 pounds, the unit maintains structural rigidity necessary for maintaining tolerance stack-up during extended machining cycles. This configuration balances precision, versatility, and compactness, making it suitable for job shops, tool and die facilities, and contract manufacturers requiring flexible multi-spindle CNC capabilities for diverse small-diameter components.
