2022 Citizen L32 Type-X CNC Swiss Lathe w/ FMB Barfeeder

The 2022 Citizen L32 Type X Swiss Lathe represents the pinnacle of precision Swiss-style machining, designed for high-speed, high-accuracy operations on bar stock up to 1.26 inch in diameter. This 8-axis machine boasts a full suite of simultaneous machining capability including C axis, Y axis, and live tooling, combined with a sub spindle for balanced operations and backworking. It is powered by a 7.5 horsepower main spindle capable of 8000 RPM and a 3.7 horsepower sub spindle also reaching 8000 RPM. With a maximum cutting length of 12.6 inch per chucking, the machine is paired with the Cincom System M70LPC control and equipped for continuous production with features such as a high-pressure coolant system, LNS chip conveyor, FMB Turbo 2-20 barfeeder, and integrated mist and fire suppression systems.

Compared to earlier Swiss-type platforms such as the L20 or older Tsugami models, the L32 Type X offers a broader bar capacity and more robust sub spindle power, allowing for longer unattended runs and complex part completion in a single cycle. While lighter Swiss variants often lack dual synchronous spindles or live tooling power density, this model provides a production-ready solution for mid-diameter precision work that demands superior cycle time and surface finish control without sacrificing flexibility.
