Used Miyano Lathes & Turning Centers for Sale

Who Miyano isMiyano is a Japanese machine tool builder that specialises in fixed-headstock CNC automatic lathes for bar work. The company was founded in Japan in 1929 by Toshimori Miyano, initially in high-end tools, and began manufacturing automatic lathes in 1948, developing Japan's first automatic cam lathe, the AL-S25. In 2010 Miyano joined the Citizen group, and the following year Citizen Machinery merged with Miyano to form Citizen Machinery Miyano. Today the brand sits within Citizen Machinery Co., Ltd., with manufacturing based in Fukushima, Japan.

What they are known forMiyano's reputation rests on production turning: high accuracy, high rigidity and high durability. The design hallmarks are high-rigidity spindles, hand-scraped slideways and a platform-style machine bed. The range covers fixed-headstock CNC automatic lathes for bar and blank machining, from single-spindle, single-turret machines up to two-spindle, two-turret configurations with Y-axis and rotary tooling. Typical users are in automotive components, construction machinery and hydraulic equipment, where medium-sized, high-accuracy parts are produced in volume.

Model series buyers search forThe BNA series is the best-known family: compact machines with roughly 34 mm or 42 mm bar capacity, offered in C (one spindle, one turret), S (sub-spindle for back machining) and DHY (two turrets plus Y-axis) versions. The BND series covers larger bar capacity, around 51 mm, in two-spindle, one-turret layouts. Other series in the wider range include the BNC, BNJ, BNE, BNX and ANX models, plus the older ABX family. On the used market, BNA-42S and BND-34TS machines come up regularly.

What to check when buying usedStart with the control: confirm the CNC generation, that parameters and backup media are present, and that the machine can be demonstrated under power. Check spindle hours and the condition of the spindle bearings, since these machines run at high speeds. Inspect the turret for indexing accuracy and repeatability, and the sub-spindle and Y-axis for backlash if fitted. Slideways and the bed are hand-scraped, so look for scoring or re-scraping. Bar feeder and chip conveyor are often separate items, so confirm what is included. Ask for maintenance records and any history of spindle or turret repair.

Service and parts supportBecause Miyano is now part of Citizen Machinery, spares and technical support are handled through the Citizen Machinery organisation and its distributors rather than an independent Miyano network. Before buying, confirm which distributor covers your region, whether the specific model is still supported, and typical lead times for turret, spindle and control parts. For older models, availability of control spares from the CNC builder is worth checking separately.
