CITIZEN L32-VII Series 4

 
Simple Operation for Complex Parts
 
The Cincom L32-VII Series 4 offers outstanding technical features - bar capacity is increased to 32 mm (1.25"), completing the top end of the L series range.

The robust design of the machine, with a highly-rigid inclined bed, makes it ideal for rapid chip removal, guaranteeing typical uncompromising CITIZEN precision in the most demanding applications.

Innovative machine-tool technology and the user-friendly high-speed control system ensure short machining times and thus economic production.
 
Special Features
   
  • Simultaneous control of 6 axes results in quickest cycle times; fully synchronised main and backwork spindle.
  • Flexible vertical tool holder system with 5 turning and 4 driven stations for front-end machining, 5 stations for front-end machining.
  • Main spindle speed up to 8000 rpm and 250 mm turning lengths without need for re-chucking.
  • C-axis on main spindle.
  • Slanted bed for rapid chip disposal, rigidity and typical CITIZEN precision.
  • Specially developed Citizen software reduces the operators workload and simplifies programming and setting functions.
  • Y-axis as standard. Rotary milling cutters are traversed across the workpiece using Y-axis control.
  • The Y-axis also simplifies tool centre height adjustment by input of tool offset values.

Control System

The Cincom L32 is controlled by one of the most power and user-friendly systems currently available, ensuring reliable operation and unbelievably short production times. At the heart of the system is the Mitsubishi Meldus 500 combined with the CINCOM IV C user interface. This provides an extremely convenient way of programming and setting the machine. As with all the L-Series turning centres, a tool presetter is not required - tool setting is carried out essentially at the press of a button. The "Program Check" function is used to test the program by running this forwards and backwards at a slow feed rate. This eliminates the possibility of crashes or stress.

Programming is carried out using a familiar standard language. The LCD display is divided into two parts, permitting a simultaneous display of the main and sub-spindles and allowing the connection between these to be set without the need for laborious switching of the display back and forth

Servo Motor System

The use of hollow motor spindles firstly drastically reduces non-machining times and secondly ensures extremely smooth running. The guide bush housing is driven synchronously by a servo motor, which makes it relatively simple to incorporate a C-axis. Power is transmitted via. a toothed belt. The main spindle can be operated at up to 8000 rpm, and the pick-off sub-spindle at up to 6000 rpm.
