Our best estimate for the Citizen Cincom L12 Type VII is $120,000 - $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-l12-vii#price; the request is passed to Citizen Machinery or an authorised dealer.
The GB machine uses a guide bush and machines up to 135 mm per chucking. The GBL machine runs without a guide bush and is limited to 30 mm per chucking. The GBL build suits short parts and reduces bar remnant, while the GB build supports long slender parts close to the tool.
The gang rotary tools run to 10,000 rpm on a 0.75 kW tool spindle motor, with drilling to 5 mm and tapping to M4. That higher speed suits the small drills and end mills used on 12 mm parts, where cutters need high revolutions to reach their cutting speed.
Both are 12 mm machines with a back spindle and gang rotary tools. The Cincom B12E-VI runs its main spindle to 12,000 rpm and its rotary tools to 4,500 rpm, mounts 16 tools and weighs 1,150 kg. The L12 runs to 15,000 rpm and 10,000 rpm, mounts up to 27 tools and weighs 1,700 kg.
The back spindle takes a 12 mm chuck, runs to 10,000 rpm and allows 30 mm of the part to protrude. Back machining is listed to 6 mm drilling and M5 tapping. The back spindle motor is rated 0.4/0.75 kW.
Citizen lists a 6.1 kVA power requirement and a 3.2 kVA average during load operation. Motors are 2.2/3.7 kW for the main spindle, 0.75 kW for the tool spindle, 0.4/0.75 kW for the back spindle and 0.25 kW for coolant. The machine weighs 1,700 kg.
