What the maker publishes about the current Citizen A20VII
Citizen Machinery builds the Cincom A20VII as a sliding headstock CNC automatic lathe, and in its standard tooling layout the machine mounts 21 tools, with up to 25 possible. Its machining diameter limit is 20 mm, and one chucking spans 200 mm on the 20 mm specification or 188 mm on the 25 mm one. A built-in 2.2/3.7 kW unit powers the main spindle. The back spindle grips up to 20 mm and runs to 8,000 min-1 on a 1.1/1.5 kW motor. From the front, drilling reaches 10 mm and tapping M8; the gang post's rotary tools handle 7 mm holes and M6 threads with a 1.0 kW servo behind them. X1 moves at 24 m/min in rapid, and every other axis at 32 m/min. Center height is 1,050 mm.
