Four new turn-mill centres will be shown for the first time on the shared 300 m² stand of Citizen Machinery UK and Miyano Machinery at MACH 2010 that will provide visitors with the chance to view at a single venue the latest in “one-hit” machining technology from both the Citizen CNC sliding head and Miyano fixed head lathe stables.
Altogether five Citizen CNC sliding head turn-mill centres will be demonstrated under power having bar capacities up to 32 mm of which two will be totally new and shown for the first time outside of Japan under the “E for Evolution” designation. In addition, existing models will feature higher productivity enhancements and functionality from new controls and software, additional driven tools and the recently introduced adaptive guide bush.
Alongside the Citizen brand will be four machines from Miyano that complement Citizen’s sliding head technology in fixed head configurations that take the bar capacity for turn-mill parts up to 64 mm. Importantly, with the addition of Miyano alongside the Citizen range of machines is the inclusion of a highly versatile chucking and automation capability.
With the two product ranges and the added advantage from combined sales, applications and service support, Miyano will also be demonstrating two totally new machines plus its top sellers in the UK. In addition, Miyano’s capability to automate the turn-milling and turning centre process will be supported with examples of cell configurations and various levels of automation.
