Automatic lathes for maximum precision, surface quality and productivity
Medical technology components hardly resemble turned parts any more. Thanks to the latest innovation with automatic tool changer (ATC), Citizen Machinery Europe GmbH enables even more flexible machining.
Complex medical technology components manufactured on sliding headstock automatic lathes hardly resemble conventional turned parts: Bone nails, bone drills, angled connecting elements for dental implants, surgical and dental instruments and even the handle and head of the dreaded dental drill. At Citizen, the world's largest supplier of sliding headstock lathes
up to 38 mm, an experienced engineering team at the European Technology Center in Esslingen has developed customer-specific machine concepts and production programs based on the Cincom series machines. With the help of the experts, even bar turning beginners can tap into enormous rationalization potential within a very short space of time without any major prior knowledge.
within a very short time. With comparatively low investment costs, Swiss-type lathes significantly streamline the production process. The overall throughput time of the workpieces is reduced enormously and the flexibility of the user increases.
When machining complex parts, e.g. for medical technology such as implants, the ATC ensures problem-free tool setup for machining different workpiece types in a single set-up.
In addition to B-axis machining, there are many other possible applications for ATC tooling. These include countless cross and face machining processes with a wide variety of tools, including slotting cutters and hobs.
