Our best estimate for the Citizen Cincom K16E is $115,000 - $175,000. 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-k16e#price; the request is passed to Citizen Machinery or an authorised dealer.
It is not in Citizen's current lineup, so a K16E for sale is a used machine. The figures on this page are the listed ones and have not been checked against a Citizen source, so confirm them against the machine before buying.
The Cincom K16-VII is listed with 7 axes, 26 tools, a 15,000 rpm back spindle and LFV as standard. The K16E is listed with 5 axes, 20 tools, a 12,000 rpm back spindle and LFV as an option. Both have a 15,000 rpm main spindle and take 16 mm bar.
The back spindle is listed at 12,000 rpm with a 0.9/1.1 kW (1.2/1.5 HP) motor. That supports facing, chamfering and small drilling on the cut-off end, but the small motor limits larger drills and heavy back turning.
The listed power consumption is 4.5 kVA rated, the listed weight 1,600 kg (3,527 lbs) and the dimensions 1,750 x 1,350 x 1,600 mm (68.9 x 53.1 x 63 in). Plan extra floor length for the bar feeder.
