2002 Citizen C-16 VII CNC Swiss Lathe

The 2002 Citizen C-16 VII CNC Swiss Lathe is a finely tuned, 7-axis sliding-head machine engineered for high-precision Swiss-style turning. With a 0.625" bar capacity, synchronized 10000 RPM main and sub-spindles, and Mitsubishi CNC control, it enables complex profiles using live tooling in X1/Y1/Z1 and X2/Z2, plus dual C-axis indexing. The machine includes six turning tools, four rotary, and six drilling stations, all paired with high-pressure coolant lines and a parts catcher. Additionally, automation is simplified with two bar feeder options—an Iemca Genius 120 or LNS Super Hydrobar—for continuous production.

Compared to basic two-axis Swiss lathes, the C-16 VII elevates versatility with added axes, live tooling, dual spindle control, and auto bar feeding—transforming multi-step parts into single-fixture operations that minimize setups and maximize output.
