CITIZEN TO PREMIERE FUTURE MACHINE DEVELOPMENTS AT EMO 07

Following the most successful world launch of any machine in the sliding head auto stable of Citizen Machinery through the use of exhibitions and open houses to preview new machines at the pre-production stage, the Japanese company is to use the forthcoming EMO 07 exhibition in Hannover to give potential customers the chance to explore and comment on the advantages of the latest developments prior to the machines involved going into full production.

Last year the Citizen A20-VI was previewed around the world some six months prior to its launch. The resulting high level of orders gave Citizen the confidence to increase build schedules to meet the demand which far exceeded forecasts.

Also, by taking onboard customer comments, certain changes to the machine specification were able to be incorporated prior to full machine production. The Citizen A20 is now available in the UK as a ready-to-run package for £65,000 that includes barfeed, workpiece conveyor, long part attachment and Sandvik Coromant’s QS quick-change tool system.

Alongside the pre-production machines Citizen will be exhibition under power examples of the latest versions of the current machine range including the UK’s top seller the M-Series, as well as L,C, K and A types and the linear drive R-Series.
