CITIZEN MACHINERY ANNOUNCES AUTUMN OPEN HOUSE - Citizen Machinery
The Miyano BNE-65ATC will be one of the attractions at Citizen Machinery’s autumn open house in Brierley Hill.
From 6th to 8th October 2026, Citizen Machinery will demonstrate to manufacturers how they can streamline workflows and boost profitability using Cincom sliding-head lathes and Miyano fixed-head lathes at an open house to be held in the company’s Turning Centre of Excellence, Brierley Hill. Details and registration may be found at https://citizenmachinery.co.uk/open-house.
Notable is that the company is extending its MACH 2026 Gateway to Japan offer of a free trip to Japan for one individual from each company that places an order during the event for a machine to be delivered by the end of this year. Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis.
There will be an abundance of technology on show that the company says will reshape manufacturers’ perception of what is possible in terms of productivity gains, lights‑out machining and return on investment. Visitors will be able to learn more about 4-axis simultaneous LFV chip-breaking; high-speed, integrated laser cutting of micro-machined, ultra-precise features; Citizen Machinery’s own in-process probing and automatic offset adjustment; and the company’s proprietary Eco II suite of intelligent energy-saving measures.
Working area of the Miyano BNE-65ATC.
Featured will be automatic tool change (ATC) for raising the efficiency of complex one-hit machining. Intended to achieve the same goal, so also will superimposed machining that harnesses X-axis travel of the sub-spindle. It gives a twin-turret lathe the capability of a more expensive three-turret model, while providing the latter with synchronised control for balancing the motions of all three turrets and both spindles smoothly, reducing cycle times by up to 50%.
Other Miyanos on show will be an ABX-80THY3, a seventh-generation BNJ-51SY and a BNE-65ATC, while the Cincom line-up will be completed by the L12-2M10, L20-3M8, L32-2M10 and M32-5M8. The initial number in all lathe designations is the bar capacity in millimetres, while the suffix numbers of the Cincoms respectively represent the machine generation and the number of CNC axes. All turning centres will be under power producing demonstration components.
