Our best estimate for the Citizen Cincom B16E-II is $70,000 - $120,000. 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-b16e-ii#price; the request is passed to Citizen Machinery or an authorised dealer.
Citizen's table gives no back spindle figures for the B16E-II, and it lists 12 tools. The Cincom B16E-V (13 tools) and Cincom B16E-VI (16 tools) both have a 16 mm back spindle chuck at 6,000 rpm. Parts that need machining on the cut-off face should go to one of those.
The gang rotary tools are rated for drilling up to 5 mm diameter and tapping up to M4 at a maximum of 4,500 rpm. The tool spindle motor is 0.5 kW. That covers cross holes, tapped side holes and small flats on 16 mm parts before they are parted off.
The Cincom B12E-II is the 12 mm version at the same 1,100 kg, and its main spindle runs to 12,000 rpm. The B16E-II takes 16 mm bar with a 10,000 rpm main spindle. Choose by the largest bar diameter you run rather than by spindle speed.
Citizen lists a 3.3 kVA power requirement and an average of 2.5 kVA during load operation, the lowest in the B12E/B16E table. The main spindle motor is 2.2/3.7 kW, the tool spindle motor 0.5 kW and the coolant pump 0.18 kW.
