Creating New Value through Combinations of Machines and Peripheral Units Launch of Total Solution Models
CITIZEN MACHINERY CO.,LTD.
CITIZEN MACHINERY CO., LTD. (Karuizawa Headquarters: Miyota-machi, Kitasaku-gun, Nagano-ken, President: Keiichi Nakajima) is launching total solution models that combine a variety of peripheral units such as robots, along with proprietary machining technologies, with CNC automatic lathes. These products will be exhibited at the 31st Japan International Machine Tool Fair (JIMTOF2022) to be held at the Tokyo Big Sight from November 8.
Cincom “L20XIIB5” + Collaborative Robot Advancing Automation and Labor Savings
The combination of Cincom’s top-of-the-range “L20XIIB5” model in the best-selling L20 Series with an “FA Friendly, On Cart Type”* new product utilizing a collaborative robot provides a more advanced automation system.
Automation is promoted before and during machining by optional functions on the machine including new solutions such as the “automatic chucking force adjustment function” and “chucking force display function”, which reduce setup times, in addition to the “ATC (automatic tool changer)”.Automation can be implemented in later processes after machining, including handling workpieces from the in-machine unloader (unit for taking workpieces out after machining) with a collaborative robot, and, after simple washing and air blowing, palletizing only good products through appearance inspections by image recognition with a camera equipped on the cart.These features enable quality control of the workpieces with complicated shapes that are unloaded from a sophisticated machine capable of complex machining.

2.Productivity Improvement with Miyano “ANX42SYY” + Industrial Robot
A Miyano “ANX42SYY” equipped with our proprietary “LFV (low-frequency vibration cutting) technology” (optional) that substantially reduces machining stoppages due to chips has been combined with an “FA Friendly, On Cart Type” unit.
By adding an in-machine unloader as an option, workpieces unloaded from the unloader are handled by an industrial robot, and air blow, length measurement and palletizing are automated.This realizes product collection with zero dents and automated length measurement.Adopting an industrial robot for the FA Friendly function improves productivity while simultaneously achieving higher operating speeds and reduced costs.A tailstock that holds small-diameter long workpieces is also equipped as a new option, expanding the applicability.

Citizen Machinery’s Total Solution
Up until now we have also been offering three-part solutions integrating “machines”, “IoT” and “skills that fully utilize the technology” under the "Ko No Ryosan" concept of simultaneously achieving individuality and mass production efficiency.From here on we will proceed to propose “new value” for each and every customer through total solutions that incorporate a wide range of solutions matched to the issues affecting particular products and customers, including “alkapplysolution”, which serves to improve customer productivity and increase working efficiency, the “CIToolingSystem”, which substantially shortens setup times and tool change times, and the “remnant bar reduction function using friction joining technology”, which helps to reduce environmental impact through energy savings, reduction of CO2 emissions and so on.
At JIMTOF 2022, we will exhibit 14 total solution models including the products described above.

About FA Friendly
This is a Citizen Machinery solution that addresses customers’ automation and labor savings needs.We will continue to expand our lineup of products that help to achieve FA in customers’ factories, which includes machines, devices and functions to achieve automation and labor savings on production lines, and in factories, which are aggregations of production lines.
About LFV (Low Frequency Vibration Cutting) Technology
The servo axes are vibrated in the direction of cutting in synchrony with spindle rotation using a control technology unique to Citizen, and this generates “air-cutting” time where the tool makes no contact during cutting to break up chips into smaller pieces.Besides substantially reducing machining stoppages due to chips and helping to improve customers’ productivity, it helps in reduction of environmental impacts including decreasing the CO2 emissions generated in the transportation of waste, since the chips are broken up into smaller pieces than those from conventional cutting and therefore occupy a smaller volume.

About alkapplysolution
This is an aggregation of content that provides various solutions integrating the functions, technological knowhow built up by Citizen Machinery with ICT (Information and Communication Technology).A wide range of items have been arranged, including “alkartschool” which provides an opportunity to learn about NC programming, and “alkartlive 2”, a machine data collection tool that visualizes machine statuses and operating data.
About CIToolingSystem
A quick tool change system for tools with polygon taper shanks instead of conventional square shank tools.With a unique coupling structure, it secures repeatability of the tool nose position and improves rigidity during machining while substantially shortening setup and tool change times.
About the remnant bar reduction function using friction joining technology
Using the “friction joining technology” uniquely developed by Citizen, the remnant bar that is gripped by a friction-join clamping device (so that the material is held securely) is joined to the new bar that is supplied next, solving the problem of “remnant bars” that has been an issue for many years with sliding headstock type automatic lathes.
