The LX06/08E is Citizen Miyano's fixed-headstock CNC lathe, offered in 6-inch and 8-inch chuck sizes. An 8-station turret sits on a 30-degree slant bed, and the machine pairs with a gantry or NC loader for labor-saving operation.

Why a gantry loader on a chucking lathe?

A chucking lathe without automation idles every time an operator loads a part, so the spindle sits still between cycles. The LX06/08E's gantry loader feeds the chuck continuously, so a batch runs lights-out — the throughput a production shop gets without tying an operator to the machine.

• 165 / 210 mm machining diameter
• 5,000 / 4,000 rpm spindle
• 8-station turret, 0.25 sec indexing
• Gantry or NC loader, 30° slant bed

Against a hand-loaded lathe, the LX06/08E keeps the spindle cutting while the loader feeds it — the reason a batch runs unattended.
