CITIZEN M32 III CNC LATHE

This CNC turning center features a maximum turning and cutting length of 12.56 inches and a maximum turning diameter of 1.26 inches, designed for high-precision small parts machining. Its main spindle operates at speeds up to 8,000 RPM, driven by a powerful 10.2 HP motor, allowing for efficient material removal and excellent surface finish. The machine includes a second spindle with a 1.3-inch chuck size, a maximum speed of 7,000 RPM, and a 5.03 HP motor, enabling simultaneous or secondary operations to improve throughput. Equipped with a 10-position main turret and a 10-position secondary turret, it supports multiple tool changes without manual intervention for complex milling and turning operations. Live tooling capability supports a maximum spindle speed of 5,000 RPM, allowing for milling and drilling functions in addition to traditional turning. The CNC control system is a Mitsubishi 635LC, known for precise, user-friendly programming and reliable operation. Rapid traverse rates reach 1,260 inches per minute, providing fast tool positioning to minimize cycle times. The combination of high spindle power and speeds, coupled with versatile live tooling and dual spindles, makes this turning center suitable for high-mix, small-to-medium batch production requiring multi-axis machining and high flexibility. It can efficiently perform turning, drilling, boring, and milling processes on compact workpieces within its size limits.
