New Sliding Head Lathe at Luxinox: Driving Competitiveness in Precision Micromechanics

Luxinox continues to strengthen its production facility with the installation of a new CNC sliding head lathe. This investment represents a strategic evolution: we are now exceptionally competitive in the machining of small-diameter components, extending our expertise into new high-precision application segments.

Why a Sliding Head Lathe?

The Citizen Cincom L232-X is a dedicated solution for the turning of small parts and micromechanics. It is the ideal technology for:

• Small diameters, specifically below 32 mm.

• High concentricity and strict tolerance requirements.

• Complex geometries with significant length-to-diameter ratios.

• Medium-to-high volume production with consistent quality standards.

Customer Benefits and Key Industries

The introduction of sliding head technology allows Luxinox to offer increased competitiveness on small-diameter parts and a significant reduction in cycle times. Furthermore, the high stability in mass production and cost optimization for medium-to-large batches lead to greater efficiency for all applications where precision and production continuity are critical.

With this new capability, Luxinox strengthens its presence in specialized fields, including:

• Medical and Dental (surgical components, micro-implants).

• Precision Micromechanics.

• Industrial Technical Small Parts.

In these sectors, dimensional accuracy, surface integrity, and process stability are non-negotiable requirements.
