What is a Swiss Type CNC Lathe?

Swiss Type CNC Lathe-01

Swiss type CNC machine, also known as a Swiss-type lathe or Swiss automatic lathe, is a high-precision machine tool designed for machining small, complex parts. It has gained recognition in the manufacturing industry for its outstanding precision machining capabilities and efficiency.

The working principle of Swiss type CNC lathe tools is guiding a long metal rod through supporting components and securely holding it in place as it enters the cutting area of the machine. Only the portion of the metal rod that requires machining moves into the cutting area, ensuring stability and accuracy.

Ordinary CNC lathe machined workpieces remain stationary and rotate rapidly, with one or both ends of it being tightly fixed. But with a Swiss type CNC lathe, the workpiece can rotate and move back and forth on the Z-axis as the tool forms it. Swiss type CNC lathe can do many tasks in different areas at the same time.

Precision Machining

Swiss CNC lathes are renowned for their precision machining capabilities. With advanced technology and exquisite craftsmanship, they achieve micrometer-level machining accuracy, ensuring high-quality products.

High Efficiency:

These lathes use a sliding headstock bed design to keep the workpiece stable during machining. Moreover, the application of multi-axis control systems allows simultaneous machining of multiple surfaces, greatly improving efficiency.

Wide Applicability

Swiss CNC lathes are suitable for machining small, complex parts such as watch components and medical devices. Their high precision and efficiency make them widely applicable across various industries.

Stability and Reliability

Utilizing high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes, Swiss CNC lathes exhibit stable and reliable performance, whether for continuous long-term machining or complex part processing.
