CNC Swiss Type Turning Lathe

A Swiss Type Turning Lathe, also known as a Swiss-type automatic lathe or sliding headstock lathe, is a high-precision CNC lathe where the workpiece moves longitudinally through a stationary guide bushing while the cutting tools remain fixed. This setup provides excellent stability for machining small-diameter, long parts with tight tolerances.

1. Suitable for long, slender workpieces
   Guide bushing supports the workpiece during cutting, minimizing deflection—ideal for long, slender parts.
2. High precision and machining stability
   Fixed tools and moving part design ensure high dimensional accuracy and process stability.
3. Capable of multi-axis simultaneous machining (up to 12+ axes)
   Supports multi-axis simultaneous machining including turning, milling, drilling, and tapping.
4. Short cycle times, suitable for mass production
   Highly efficient with overlapping operations—ideal for high-volume production.
5. High degree of automation
   Often paired with automatic bar feeders for long, unattended runs.

1. Medical devices (e.g., bone screws, dental tools)
2. Electronic connectors and pins
3. Watch parts (e.g., shafts, gears)
4. Aerospace & defense micro-components
5. Precision automation parts
6. Micro-mechanical parts (e.g., tiny shafts, micro screws)
