What the maker publishes about the current Citizen L20E-2M8
Citizen lists the Cincom L20E-2M8 as a single row in the Marubeni Citizen-Cincom reference table for its Swiss-type CNC automatic lathes, and every figure here comes from that row. A Mitsubishi control is named for the machine, and its main spindle peaks at 10,000 rpm. The maximum bar size is printed in inches and is the same figure the L20E-2M10 and L20E-2M12 rows carry. A back spindle is fitted, with a top speed of 8,000 rpm. C-axis is marked as standard. Live tooling is part of the build and turns at up to 6,000 rpm, and the row answers yes for a Y-axis too. No axis travels, tool count, motor figures or weight are given for this model in the table.
