Citizen LFV Cutting Technology – Reduced Chip Sizes

In 2016 a spark of ingenuity led to the launch of Citizen’s LFV (Low Frequency Vibration) the programmable chip control technology quickly became the No.1 advanced cnc turning solution for revolutionising productivity – paving the way for total automation and a fully-functional lights out manufacturing operation.

How does it do it?

The slide axis oscillation is fully synchronised with the spindle rotation – the vibration ensures that only short, neatly broken swarf chips are formed – no more tangled chips! This enables you to work for longer because less cleaning and maintenance is required – machine through the night with unattended operation, increasing your profits!

The technology is highly versatile giving you stronger machining capability – its three modes: turning, grooving and threading helping you achieve more!

  • Lowered cutting resistance
  • No built-up edges are formed
  • Makes light work of difficult to machine materials
  • Low machining temperature – reducing or removing the need for high pressure coolants
  • No machining temperature rise – far less susceptible to distortion
  • Extended tool life
  • Very fine cuts are possible
