Citizen Cincom D25-VIII

The Citizen Cincom D25-VIII is a compact, production-focused Swiss-type automatic lathe with 25mm bar capacity and 8-axis simultaneous control, positioned in Citizen's lineup as a high-efficiency platform for medium-diameter Swiss parts where footprint economy and production density matter. The D25 series targets shops that need genuine Swiss-type performance in a smaller machine envelope—medical, dental, and precision connector manufacturers who typically run a mix of part diameters and need to maximize the number of productive spindles in a given floor area.

With 8 axes under simultaneous control, the D25-VIII delivers full parallel processing capability: main spindle front-work and back spindle back-work occurring concurrently, with driven tools available on both sides of the part. The 25mm bar capacity extends the D25's reach beyond the 20mm range that defines the L20 platform, covering a broader swath of the medical implant and precision component diameter range including spinal hardware, orthopedic fasteners, and larger dental abutment diameters.

Citizen's LFV chip-breaking technology is available on the D25-VIII, addressing chip control in the stainless, titanium, and alloy steels that dominate the medical and aerospace precision markets where 25mm Swiss capability is most valued. The D25's compact machine footprint—smaller than the L32-XII for similar 25mm+ capability—is a key differentiator for shops looking to add capacity without large floor space commitments. The machine's design philosophy prioritizes production density, meaning its tooling layout and part program architecture are optimized for efficient changeovers across a diverse part mix.

The D25-VIII operates with Citizen's Mitsubishi Meldas-based control system with the proprietary Swiss-type software interface that Citizen users recognize from the L20 and M08 platforms. Guide bushing configuration is standard, providing the workpiece support at the cutting zone that makes Swiss-type machining viable for long, slender parts. The D25-VIII suits shops that have outgrown 20mm Swiss capacity but don't require the full tooling complement and higher price point of the L32-XII platform.
