Citizen’s M32-VIII – the pinnacle of sliding head machining?
“If you can dream it, you can machine it.” That’s Citizen’s claim for the Cincom M32. With 38mm bar capacity, five-axis contouring, LFV on four axes, a turret, sub spindle, and tooling combinations that are almost endless, it’s hard to argue. The programming is simpler than it looks, and the machine actually grows with you – from basic turning right through to the most complex aerospace, medical, and motorsport components. Join the conversation with Tom Skubala of MTDCNC and Chris Downham of Citizen to find out why the M32 might just be the last sliding head machine you’ll ever need.
