Our best estimate for the Citizen Cincom L32 is $200,000 - $400,000. 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-l32#price; the request is passed to Citizen Machinery or an authorised dealer.
The listed figures separate them by axis count: 7 axes on the VIII, 8 on the X and 9 on the XII, which is the one with a B-axis. Tool positions range from 24 to 44 depending on configuration. Identify the build from the model plate before comparing machines.
32 mm (1.25 in) as listed, with 38 mm optional. Machining length is 320 mm (12.6 in) per chucking, which is the stroke per grip of the bar rather than a limit on finished part length.
The table lists LFV chip breaking as available, not standard. On a used machine, check whether the function is enabled in the control before counting on it for stringy materials.
The listed weight is 2,500 kg (5,512 lb) and the power figure 11 kVA. The control is Mitsubishi Meldas 70LPC with Citizen software, which matters for programming and for sourcing spare parts on an older machine.
