CITIZEN A32-VII

The new Citizen A32-VII offers 32mm large-diameter machining at an unbeatable low price. Although inexpensive the machine is strong, powerful and rigid giving it exceptional cutting performance.

With features like a rapid feed rate of 45m/min, high speed processing with the latest NC unit, and Citizen's unique streamline control, it achieves 30% higher productivity than previous machines. To make high-accuracy machining possible the design takes thermal displacement into account carefully considering factors such as the shape of the bed and the placement of the electrical cabinet.

As standard the machine is equipped with 7 axes, 6 turning tools, 4 rotary tools for cross-machining, 9 tools for back-end machining and 5 tools for front-end machining. This gives a total of 23 tools allowing great flexibility. Many different tooling configurations are available to tailor the machine to your requirements.

Maximum cutting length is 320 mm in one chucking. However, with the optional long work piece unit, components up to 400 mm can be machined. The main spindle is driven by a 5.5 kW motor and the sub-spindle has a 2.2 kW drive. The rotary tool drive also has a 1 kW, AC spindle motor with a maximum speed of 5,000RPM.

Rapid traverse rate is increased to 45m/min for a large reduction in idle time from previous models.

Comprehensive standard equipment, space-saving design, easy operation, low running costs and high productivity - all at an extremely attractive price makes the A32-VII an must-have purchase for both newcomers to sliding head and exisiting users looking to increase their capacity.

• New high speed Mitsubishi M70 series control with 'Streamline Machining' technology
• Special Citizen software to overlap and superimpose axis movements
• Special macros for overlapping of rapid approach of next tool over approach of previous tool.
• Higher rapid traverse, most axes with 45m/min rapid feed rates.
• Higher axis acceleration and deceleration

• Increased rigidity - 30% greater than previous 32mm models at the same weight allowing powerful cutting and highly uniform surfaces.
• Higher axis acceleration and deceleration

• 320mm headstock stroke (with rotary guide bush)
• C-axis main spindle / sub spindle as standard
• 150l Coolant Tank

The Mitsubishi M70 series control provides super-fast NC processing to greatly increase productivity.

The complete control system is integrated into the swiveling operation panel which incorporates a clear 10.4" LCD colour display.

The CNC hand wheel enables safe and easy program prove out. Potential collision points can be recognised and avoided, and all movements can be optimised.

Through the clear user interface and the extensive range of functions, programming is simplified to enable a fast-track learning curve even for first time users.

This latest-generation control has improved startup and shutdown times and a more responsive feel than the previous generation.

The storage and input of program data us simplified by the CompactFlash memory card slot.

Citizen's renowned ease of use helps operators achieve fast changeovers.

• 6 turning tools
• 4 end working tools (front)
• 9 end working tools (back)
• 4 rotary cross tools (1kW, 5,000RPM)

• Option 1 - Additional 2 rotary cross tools
• Option 2 - Additional 2 front and 2 back end-working tools.

In addition to this 5 of the standard back-working tools can be converted to rotary tools.
