On 8-9 April 2025, Citizen Machinery UK will hold an open house at its Bushey, Hertfordshire headquarters, showroom and solutions centre. The occasion will mark the UK launch of a new range of sliding-head lathes, the third generation of the Cincom L20, a best-selling model with platen-type tooling and front and rear tool posts. Citizen’s Cincom L20 is available in five variants, including a top model with or without B-axis automatic tool change, both of which support simultaneous five-axis control for complex machining cycles. Citizen says the turning centre’s specification has been considerably uprated. More information www.citizenmachinery.co.uk
