Our best estimate for the Citizen Cincom M16-VIII is $260,000 - $340,000. 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-viii#price; the request is passed to Citizen Machinery or an authorised dealer.
Three: a gang tool post, a turret and a back tool post. Each has rotary tools that drill up to 5 mm and tap up to M5. Gang and back rotary tools run at up to 8,000 rpm. The gang post and the turret each have a 0.69 kW rotary tool motor and the back tool post a 0.75 kW motor.
The maximum machining length is 200 mm per chuck. For back machining, up to 125 mm of the workpiece can protrude from the back spindle, which takes parts up to 16 mm in diameter.
X1, X3, Y1, Y3, Z1, Z2 and Z3 rapid at 32 m/min. X2 rapids at 16 m/min and Y2 at 8 m/min. Both spindles run to 12,000 rpm.
The Cincom M16-V, an earlier type not in Citizen's current lineup, is listed with the same 16 mm bar, 12,000 rpm main spindle and 200 mm machining length, and a weight of 2,900kg against 2,950 kg for the M16-VIII. The Cincom M16-V lists 8,000 rpm for the rotary tools on all tool posts; the M16-VIII table gives that speed for the gang and back posts.
A power requirement of 7.9 kVA, with 5.4 kVA average under load. Motors listed are 2.2/3.7 kW for the main spindle, 0.75/1.5 kW for the back spindle and 0.4 kW for the coolant pump.
