Citizen-Cincom sets the global standard in Swiss-type CNC lathes. Renowned for precision and productivity, these machines excel in manufacturing intricate components for medical, aerospace, and electronics industries.
Their sliding-headstock design enables high-speed, multi-axis machining with exceptional surface finish and accuracy. Advanced control technology and bar-feeding automation maximize output while minimizing operator intervention.
Why Choose Citizen-Cincom?
- Ultra-precise machining for small, complex parts
- High-speed, multi-axis capability increases throughput
- Innovative Miyano-integrated controls and bar feeders
Benefits of Citizen/Cincom
Citizen/Cincom machines allow parts to come off faster (cut + idle time reduced), with fewer interventions. The result: more parts per hour, less labor per part, shorter cycle times (especially for long runs).
How? By Combining:
- Better motion control and faster rapid moves
- Simultaneous machining operations front/back
- Fewer setups/tool changes
- Better chip control and less downtime
- Automated material feed
Industries
Industries that benefit most from Swiss-type lathes are those with small, precise, complex parts, high volume needs, long slender geometries — e.g., medical, aerospace, electronics, automotive, precision industrial fittings.
Swiss-type lathes excel where precision, small diameters, long slender parts, and complex features matter. Some of the key industries are:
Medical / Dental / Implantable Devices
These require extremely tight tolerances, small diameters (pins, screws, implants) and often complex geometries. Swiss machines provide the required precision and minimal secondary operations.Aerospace
Lightweight, high-precision parts (fasteners, connectors, hydraulic fittings) are good fits for Swiss turning. The support of the guide bushing and multi-axis capability make these machines useful.Electronics / Connectors / Micro-components
Small, high-volume parts like pins, sensors, tiny shafts — where Swiss lathes shine because they minimize deflection, can machine close to the guide bushing, and often run bar stock automatically.Automotive / Fuel Injectors / Valves / Sensors
Parts in the automotive space are more demanding in terms of precision and often miniaturization, especially sensors or injectors. Swiss machines are used for these.Oil & Gas / Industrial Fittings / Hydraulics
Some applications require durable, small-to-medium precision parts (threads, fittings) made from challenging materials. Swiss lathes can help.Why these industries benefit:
- Swiss-type machines often allow multiple operations in one setup (turning + drilling + milling/tapping) which reduces cycle time and setup cost.
- The work-piece support (guide bushing) reduces deflection, enabling deeper cuts, higher accuracy and better surface finish.
- Automation (bar feeding, live tooling, sub-spindles) means high throughput for long runs.
