2002 Citizen Cincom FL-42 CNC Turning Center

The 2002 Citizen Cincom FL-42 CNC Turning Center stands as a precision Swiss-type lathe that combines speed and versatility. With a 6" collet chuck, it accommodates up to 1.63" bar, offers machining lengths up to 3.15", and achieves spindle speeds up to 6000 RPM powered by a 15 HP motor. It includes live C-axis milling (0.001° resolution), a sub-spindle with 5 HP motor, and a modular 12- or 24-position tooling turret—all under Cincom (Mitsubishi 635LCC) CNC control, integrated with an Iemca VIP 80 bar feeder.

Compared to conventional turning centers, the FL-42’s sliding headstock and synchronised sub-spindle enable single-operation machining of complex parts, dramatically reducing setup time. The addition of live tooling and lightning-quick C-axis indexing further elevates productivity and precision across short-run, multi-operation workflows.
