CITIZEN A20-3F7 sliding head lathe was built in 2018 in Thailand by CITIZEN MACHINERY ASIA CO., LTD. The machine, designed for precision machining of long workpieces with a maximum diameter of 25 mm, is an excellent choice for many industries, such as the automotive or aerospace industry. The machining process is performed inside a large working area by means of two spindles with C axis and cutting tools taken from a 21-position magazine. The high thermal stability bed inside effectively reduces the influence of heat, increasing the service life of all components and tools.

The CITIZEN A20 VII CNC automatic lathe is offered with a wide range of equipment, which includes e.g. an LNS bar feeder and an intelligent CNC control with many useful functions. The total weight of the machine is 2200 kg.
