The BNX-42SY is a single turret turning center based on the BNJ twin turret machine.

Grand Opening Showcases HeadquartersBIG Kaiser Precision Tooling welcomed customers and partners to its new headquarters’ grand opening on April 29-30.

The L20E Type IX Swiss-type lathe is the enhanced model (“E” stands for evolution) with better feature/cost benefits and improved tooling flexibility.

This Florida medical manufacturer is an expert in the production of complex medical parts on CNC Swiss machines. Their job shop has evolved from 18 to 135 employees by efficient production of small, difficult parts for the demanding medical industry. And moving forward, the shop’s co-founder only sees better things ahead.

Citizen, AMT Machine Systems, CNC Engineering, Kennebec, ZPS and Tooling U are covered in this edition of news.

Machine shops prioritize different challenges daily, but some challenges are more critical than others. Precise Products Corporation (Minneapolis) was faced with a challenge when one of its original customers asked the company to reduce the cost of a family of parts or risk losing the job.  

Marubeni Citizen-Cincom’s Cincom A32 Type VII offers rapid feed rates of 45 m/min and quick acceleration/deceleration. Its features include 32-mm large diameter machining, high-speed processing with the newest NC unit as well as the company’s “Streamline Control” for smooth and fast movements, the company says. Other machines available from the company include the Cincom L720 Type VIII with the System M7 control; the M332 Type V, and the A20 Type VII and more as well as the lathes with the company’s bar feeds.

 Tooling a Swiss-type machine is the second biggest decision a shop makes when intsalling a new machine. With the help of two OEM's, the New Jersey shop got it right out of the gate.  

This dental implant manufacturer has found the right combination of technology and personnel to help implement its changing philosophy rooted in the control of its manufacturing processes.

The A32 Type VII Swiss-type CNC automatic lathe from Marubeni Citizen-Cincom Inc.  offers 32-mm diameter machining and features a rapid feed rate of 45 m/min, high-speed processing with the latest NC unit and Citizen's streamline control.

Strong customer service is what has made this company successful. However, while keeping the customer happy is a primary goal for American Eagle, it is the customer service it has received that has made the biggest difference. Now, increased lights-out operations are allowing the company to be even more competitive by providing lower shop rates for the customer.

The Cincom L20 series is more advanced than the previous L-series models, thus enabling faster operations and reduced non-cutting idle time by 40 percent, says Marubeni Citizen-Cincom (MCC). In an ID/OD tooling operation or thread cutting operation, moving another axis can begin without prior to the movement of the other axis being completed. This process alone can reduce wasted time and optimize operations, says the company.

Citizen Cincom four-axes A-16 Swiss-type lathe is based on the company's B series machine and was developed to upgrade current automatic CAM-type users to CNC Swiss-type users. The lathe offers many standard NC functions. The main spindle motor housing is built in with no belt.

Marubeni Citizen-Cincom, Inc. has expanded its R-series line of turning centers designed for machining small-diameter parts. The Cincom R07 is compact with a rotary guide bushing unit developed exclusively for high speed precision machining.

Cincom L-720 is the fastest and most efficient seven-axis L20 series Swiss-type lathe ever developed by Citizen. The lathe must be seen to appreciate its speed and tooling flexibility. This lathe is equipped with the Mitsubishi 700 control.

What's new is whirling's recent and growing acceptance in the United States. It has become widely used in the manufacturing of 'large' parts, such as steering gears, worm gears, acme threads, ballscrews and other threaded parts.

The Citizen C16 VII is a new, compact machine that's low in maintenance and high in speed, precision and versatility. With main and sub-spindles, dual tool posts, 22 live and stationary tools, and up to nine programmable axes (including optional C, and C2 axes), there's hardly a 5/8" part anywhere that can't be made on a C16. For speed, the C16 combines split second chip-to-chip times with a 10,000-rpm spindle.

The new CAV magazine bar feeder is configured to the speeds, torque, power and axis movements of the Cincom machine to which it's attached. It responds to the headstock's slightest movement, assuring high levels of precision and productivity. The turning center and CAV bar feeder are designed to share the same contr
