Our best estimate for the Citizen Cincom B16E-VI is $110,000 - $180,000. 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-vi#price; the request is passed to Citizen Machinery or an authorised dealer.
Only the B16E-VI. The Cincom B16E-V has the 16 mm back spindle without rotary tools and mounts 13 tools. The Cincom B16E-II has the rotary tools without a back spindle and mounts 12. The B16E-VI combines both and mounts 16.
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 on a 0.5 kW tool spindle motor. Front axial drilling goes further, to 6 mm, and front tapping to M6.
At the main spindle, yes: the Cincom B12E-VI runs to 12,000 rpm and the B16E-VI to 10,000 rpm. The rotary tools, back spindle speed of 6,000 rpm and 16-tool capacity are listed the same, and both weigh 1,150 kg. The B16E-VI takes 16 mm bar, the larger size of the two.
Citizen lists a 5.2 kVA power requirement with an average of 4 kVA during load operation, a machine weight of 1,150 kg and a centre height of 1,000 mm. Motors are 2.2/3.7 kW for the main spindle, 1.0 kW for the back spindle, 0.5 kW for the tool spindle and 0.18 kW for coolant.
