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.
Features:- Suitable for long, slender workpieces
Guide bushing supports the workpiece during cutting, minimizing deflection—ideal for long, slender parts. - High precision and machining stability
Fixed tools and moving part design ensure high dimensional accuracy and process stability. - Capable of multi-axis simultaneous machining (up to 12+ axes)
Supports multi-axis simultaneous machining including turning, milling, drilling, and tapping. - Short cycle times, suitable for mass production
Highly efficient with overlapping operations—ideal for high-volume production. - High degree of automation
Often paired with automatic bar feeders for long, unattended runs.
- Medical devices (e.g., bone screws, dental tools)
- Electronic connectors and pins
- Watch parts (e.g., shafts, gears)
- Aerospace & defense micro-components
- Precision automation parts
- Micro-mechanical parts (e.g., tiny shafts, micro screws)
