    Question Need help with running long parts on a M32 Citizen

    Good afternoon ALL,

    My name is Chris I'm the CNC Operations Manager at Gem City in Ohio, we have a M32 Citizen screw machine that has always ran short parts and we are now looking to run a part 19.25 long. so we need the long part adapter to allow this but they are in japan and are back ordered. Has anyone made a work around for this? We can make the cabinets and parts here.

    Hi Chris,
    We have a Citizen L20E we turn long parts appx. 10 inches long. We turn the nose front first and then bring the subspindle in to hold the end and then turn the shaft to the final diameter.

    If there is sample code I can send let me know.

    Hi Chris, I'm in Ohio as well. We had an M32, but sold it. Didn't have the long work piece device on it. We do have an L6 32 that has the long work piece unit. It's pretty complicated, and has to interface with the machine. We also have L20's, and a long work piece device on one of them. Pretty simple compared to the one from the 32. Do you know the parts that you need? You will need to remove the Knock Out, and replace it with a tube for the part to eject through. If you would like, I can take pictures of the parts you'll need, and post them. ----------- John

    swiss machining services for long rod parts
    For over twenty years, Integral Machining Ltd. (IML)'s built the reputation of Integral Machining on doing what other North American machining companies cannot. We created a perfect long rod through Swiss Machining Services we offer.
    A job came in that seemed relatively straightforward: The client needed 14? long titanium rods with 1/4? diameters from either end, tapering down to 0.100 in the middle of the part for a distance of 12, resembling a very long, thin barbell. Both the length of the main dowel (12?) and the ¼ on either end had to be absolutely precise to fit into their overall design; and, of course, the shape and rigidity of the rod could not be compromised in any way.


    Since -unlike other lathes- Swiss machining utilizes a sliding headstock. Rather than clamping the material fixedly the stock slides through a guide bushing at the front of the machine and being supported by the sub spindle at the back. This brings several major benefits:

    · By supporting the sliding material right at the cutting point we can drastically reduce chatter and material deformation. This is vital when dealing with thin parts, where even a slight bend could destroy their alignment.

    · The moving head is able to work with extreme precision, allowing us to guarantee that the part was machined to the exact specs needed.

    · Swarf easily falls away, without getting caught up in the machinery or sticking to the piece being machined.

    · It’s a one-and-done process. The raw rod goes in, the lathe does its work, and the finished piece comes out. This further reduces chances of damage to the piece from multi-stage processes.

    With more and more custom machinery requiring odd lengths, or extremely precise tooling, Swiss machining services are an invaluable tool for getting these jobs right the first time.
