Our best estimate for the Citizen Cincom B12-VII is $130,000 - $200,000. This is an estimate for a swiss-type lathes in this class, not a quote from Citizen Machinery; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/citizen-cincom-b12-vii#price; the request is passed to Citizen Machinery or an authorised dealer.
Both the main and back spindles are listed at 15,000 RPM. The main spindle motor is 1.5 / 2.2 kW (2 / 3 HP) and the back spindle motor 0.75 / 1.5 kW (1 / 2 HP).
The listed figures give LFV chip breaking as standard. It helps on materials that form long, stringy chips. Check that it is enabled on any used machine before relying on it for unattended runs.
The Cincom B12E-II runs to 12,000 rpm (R.G.B.8,000 rpm) and weighs 1,100 kg. The B12-VII is listed with 15,000 RPM on both spindles and approx. 1,500 kg (3,307 lbs), with a back spindle and LFV standard.
The tool count, the driven-tool layout and the rapid rates, none of which are listed. Also confirm the Mitsubishi Meldas control and its Citizen software, and plan for approx. 1,500 kg (3,307 lbs).
