Lowest Cost-per-part and ideal Cam machine replacement
The Citizen A20-VII combines modern technology and the highest precision for the efficient production of turned parts up to 20mm in diameter. This latest model now includes an additional X2 axis on the sub-spindle and an additional 4 tools available on the new back-working toolpost. This allows even greater simultaneous machining possibilities over the previous type VI model.
7 axes, 5 turning tools, 4 rotary tools and in total 12 tools for front and back machining are fitted as standard allowing great flexibility.
Maximum cutting length is 165mm in one chucking. However, with the optional long work piece unit, components up to 400 mm can be machined. Plenty of power is available with the main spindle driven by a 3.7 kW motor and the sub-spindle 1.5 kW. The rotary tool drive also has a 0.75 kW, AC spindle motor giving 6,000RPM.
Rapid traverse rate is increased to 32m/min from 18m/min for type VI for a further reduction in idle time. The latest Cincom Control technology uses special Citizen software to overlap and superimpose axis movements and tool changes.
Comprehensive standard equipment, space-saving design, easy operation, low running costs and high productivity - all at an extremely attractive price makes the A20-VII a must-have for newcomers to sliding head lathes and for replacement of cam-controlled lathes or for the production of simple turned parts.

CNC System
The latest generation super-fast Fanuc 32i control has an NC scanning time is half that of current models. CNC processing, PLC functions and Macro execution time are also much improved.
Incorporates the latest Cincom Control technology using special Citizen software to overlap and superimpose axis movements and tool changes.
The fully positionable control console enables the operator to observe the machining area and the program on the monitor at the same time. The handwheel feature provides the operator with a safe and convenient means of proving out programs prior to selecting the automatic mode, particularly useful to newcomers to CNC operation.
The storage and input of program data is simplified by the PC memory card slot (PCMCIA aka. PC Card).
Existing users of the A20-VI can benefit from the program conversion function that automatically converts programs written for the A20-VI to the A20-VII.
