MACH 2026 will be the first major UK exhibition at which patented LFV (low frequency
vibration) chip breaking from Citizen Machinery (stand 20-260) will be demonstrated with
four-axis simultaneous capability. Integrated into the operating system of the control driving
the axis motions of Citizen Cincom sliding-head lathes, and more recently selected Miyano
fixed-head models, LFV breaks stringy swarf into manageable chips.
Now, the technology has been developed to start and stop in four separate axes at the same
time, namely the X and Z movements of both the main and sub spindles. Four-axis LFV is a
major step forward, as it greatly enhances flexibility, reduces cycle times and eliminates
operational bottlenecks, since there is no need to stop the machine to remove tangled
swarf, however complex the program.
