CNC Swiss Lathes

Used Citizen Cincom M32: Sell or Buy at Auction

Citizen is a world-leading manufacturer of CNC Swiss-type automatic lathes: precision turning machines used for high-volume production of small, complex parts. Citizen Swiss lathes are ubiquitous in medical device manufacturing, aerospace fasteners, dental implants, and electronics components. The Cincom series is the industry standard for Swiss-type turning.

The Citizen Cincom M32 is a CNC Swiss-type automatic lathe with a 32 mm (about 1-1/4 inch) maximum bar capacity, the largest bar and turning diameter in Citizen's M-series. Like the rest of that line it is a sliding-headstock, guide-bushing machine with an opposing sub-spindle for simultaneous back-end work, and it carries gang tool posts plus live tooling so it can turn, drill, mill, and cut off a finished part in a single bar-fed cycle under simultaneous multi-axis CNC control. The larger 32 mm capacity is what separates the M32 from the smaller M16 and M20 Cincoms in the same family: shops step up to it when parts outgrow those machines, running larger-diameter turned work that needs more spindle torque and rigidity than the compact end of the Cincom line can provide. Typical parts include larger orthopedic and trauma medical components and bone screws, aerospace and defense fittings, connectors and fasteners, and hydraulic and fluid-power components. Buyers are usually established Swiss-turning shops in medical device, aerospace, and high-volume precision machining that already run Citizen equipment and want a familiar control and setup with minimal changeover risk. When KD Auctions lists an M32, it reaches our 500,000+ industry contacts, and complete setups that sell with the bar feeder, sub-spindle tooling, and documentation intact consistently draw the strongest bidding.
