Sliding Head LFV Technology

Introducing one of Citizen’s advanced developments, the D25, equipped with double gang tool posts and B axis. The double gang layout enables short cycle times for high productivity at low part cost. The large number of tools, for both main and sub spindle, gives cost effective production of complex workpieces. A total of up to 59 front/back tools can be mounted, with up to 28 tools for back machining, enabling a full range of machining with a diversity of tools and realising high productivity by optimum division of processes for front/ back machining. The machine is configured with two spindles and four tool posts, and tool post 2 features the Z2 axis. Combined with tool post 1, simultaneous machining including balanced cutting and drilling with outer diameter cutting is possible. With type VIII, rotary tools on gang tool post 1 have a programmable B axis, allowing complex machining using the full simultaneous 5 Axis control. The ability to switch between guide bush and guide bushless operations as standard as well an option to increase to 32 mm diameter spindle capacity.
