This Citizen B12 is a used CNC lathe, a machine tool designed for high-precision turning, threading, and machining of bar stock and small cylindrical components. Citizen is a well-established Japanese manufacturer recognised for its range of precision CNC lathes and sliding-head turning centres, supplying industries such as medical device manufacturing, watchmaking, electronics, and general precision engineering. The machine dates from 1999, is located in the Netherlands, and is available for immediate delivery.
The lathe is equipped with a Fanuc control unit, a widely used and well-regarded CNC system known for its reliability and the broad availability of operator expertise and spare parts. The machine operates across four axes, with rapid traverse speeds of 21 m/min on the X and Y axes and 15 m/min on the Z axis, supporting productive cycle times in precision turning applications.
Key capacity figures include a maximum turning diameter of 12 mm and a maximum turning length of 135 mm, reflecting the machine's orientation toward small, high-precision components. The spindle diameter is 14 mm, and the hole through the spindle measures 52 mm, accommodating bar stock feeding. A drilling capacity of 6 mm is also specified.
The machine is said to come fitted with new amplifiers, which is a notable service item on a unit of this age, and includes an LNS Tryton SST bar loader, a purpose-built automatic bar feeding system that supports unattended or lights-out production runs. The machine was manufactured in Japan.
