Citizen M532VIII
The new M532VIII is Citizen's most advanced machine model to date. This 32mm capacity Goliath with 12 programmable axes features a 10-position turret with Y-axis that allows for more sophisticated and highly productive machining functions. The turret tooling has been completely redesigned with a conversion to single direct drive for rotary tools. Gang and turret live spindle power increased to 3 HP!
The new Mitsubishi M850W control, featuring new touchscreen HMI operating panel, allows for faster processing and reduced non-cut times vs. previous "M" generation. In addition to the 10-position turret, the M532VIII features a programmable B-axis 4 front/4 back position tool post off of the gang slide for true 5-axis machining.
Structural analysis was performed to achieve a highly rigid design that provides an optimal balance between strength and weight to greatly improve the rigidity required during the machining process. This new machine construction and intelligent servo control make the machining of precision work pieces in minimal cycle time possible. Our three tool post construction allows machining with up to 3 tools on main and back spindle simultaneously. You can also switch between guide-bushing and non-guide bushing modes and there is also an option for a 38-mm bar capacity upgrade. One thing is for certain with Citizen’s new M5-series machine – the only limitation to what you can create is your mind!
Citizen M532VII
If you don’t require the B-axis live tool post, then the M532VII is the machine for you. Instead, it offers a 3 position live face tool post that can be manually adjusted. The M532VII, like the type VIII, offers the Y3 axis on the back-working tool block to accommodate up to 3 tiers of tooling. If you don’t need to use your 3 position live face block on the main spindle, it can be removed and mounted directly onto this secondary back-working block!
