Our best estimate for the Citizen Cincom M16-V is $180,000 - $260,000. 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-m16-v#price; the request is passed to Citizen Machinery or an authorised dealer.
No, it is not in Citizen's current lineup. The current M16 is the Cincom M16-VIII, which keeps the 16 mm bar capacity, 12,000 rpm main spindle and 200 mm machining length per chuck.
A third tool post with its own axes, so the listing counts nine axes from X1 to Z3. Turret rotary tools drill up to 5 mm and tap up to M5, and rotary tools on all tool posts run at 8,000 rpm.
LFV chip breaking is listed as standard on the M16-V. Check that the function is active on a particular used machine, along with whether the guide-bushless option was fitted.
The back spindle chuck takes 16 mm, drills up to 8 mm (0.315 in) and taps M6, with up to 125 mm of the workpiece protruding. Back rotary tools drill 5 mm and tap M5. The back spindle runs to 12,000 rpm on a 0.75/1.5 kW (1/2 HP) motor.
