But it was definitely the opportunity to see the new K-Series machine put through its fast cycling routines prior to its launch at the JIMTOF Japanese exhibition that caused most comment." The new K-Series range represented by the Citizen K12-VII was only at NC Engineering's technical centre for four days before being shipped back to Citizen.
What held visitors interest was the short cycle time capability linked to the ground breaking price to performance ratio to produce complex mill and turned parts in a single operation said the company.
The 12mm (0.5 inch) capacity machine has a 3.7 kW, 15,000 revolutions per minute spindle and 10,000 rpm subspindle.
The machine is able to carry up to six turning tools, has eight end-working tools and seven driven tools claimed NC.
The company also reported that considerable interest was also shown in the showroom housing pre-owned machines which was well-stocked following high levels of trade-in machines as customers have upgraded to the latest generations of Citizen sliding head machines following the MACH 2004 launches at the NEC in April.
Two pre-owned machines were sold directly from the showroom and Geoff Bryant said he is confident from the level of interest that more orders will be taken over the next few weeks. Request free introductory details about products from Citizen Machinery UK ...
