Introducing Citizen's newest development, the L12X with Y2 axis for even higher functionality

• Y2 axisType X to the back spindle strengthens back machining. This increases the degree of freedom for process allocation, and increases the maximum number of tools that can be installed to 38.

  • The wide variety of tooling layouts available, such as "adjustable angle end-face spindle" that allows for slanted hole drilling, enable you to perform various kinds of machining.

  • Additionally, adoption of a built-in motor for the back spindle drive enables a maximum speed of 12,000 min-1.

  • Citizen Machinery's patented swarf control technology, LFV. Three vibration mode (mode1, mode2, mode3) are currently available.

LFV Technology

We provide next-generation machining tools to greatly reduce or eliminate a host of chip-related problems during cutting, taking your productivity to the next level.

LFV technology stands for low frequency vibration cutting. The servo axes are vibrated in the axial direction using a unique control technology where by cutting is performed while synchronizing
this vibration with the rotation of the spindle. This cutting method introduces regular "air-cutting" into the cycle, breaking up of chips into very small pieces making it the optimum processing method
for difficult-to-machine materials.
