Our best estimate for the Citizen Cincom L12 Type X is $180,000 - $280,000. 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-x#price; the request is passed to Citizen Machinery or an authorised dealer.
A Y2 axis for the back spindle side. Citizen says it strengthens back machining, gives more freedom in allocating operations between the spindles and raises the maximum number of tools to 38. Back rotary tools drill to 5 mm and tap to M4 at up to 9,000 rpm.
Up to 15,000 rpm in guide-bush mode and up to 12,000 rpm guide-bushless. The back spindle also runs to 12,000 rpm. For comparison, the Cincom B12E-VI lists a 12,000 rpm main spindle and weighs 1,150 kg against 2,200 kg here.
135 mm per chucking with the guide bush and 30 mm without it. These are chucking strokes; longer parts are produced with re-chucking. Up to 30 mm of the workpiece can protrude from the back spindle for back machining.
Turning tools are 10 mm square as standard and 12 mm square as an option. The sleeve diameter is 19.05 mm. The gang tool post holds 7 turning tools and from 6 to 17 rotary tools; front drills range from 2 as standard to a maximum of 11.
Rated power is 6.6 kVA, with 3.6 kVA average under load. Full load current is 22 A and the main breaker 40 A. The pneumatic unit needs 0.5MPa at 55 NL/min when stationary. The machine weighs 2,200 kg.
