Citizen Machinery UK reported a highly successful open house at its Bushey headquarters last month. Around 100 visitors from 52 companies took the time to visit. Orders for 15 machines valued at £2,321,000 were either placed or committed to verbally during the show. More than two-thirds of the lathes will feature the manufacturer’s proprietary LFV (low-frequency vibration) programmable chip-breaking software. Launched five years ago, Citizen says LFV has transformed the ability of manufacturers to manage swarf when turning, thread cutting and drilling malleable metals and plastics.
