There are many types of lathes, but the most common are 2-axis CNC lathes and Swiss-type lathes. Swiss-type lathes is a specialized machining process designed for producing highly precise, small, and slender components. The name “Swiss” comes from the fact that these machines were originally developed in Switzerland. Unlike traditional CNC turning, Swiss Turning involves feeding the workpiece through a guide bushing, which supports the material very close to the cutting tool. This unique setup minimizes deflection and allows for extremely fine machining, making it ideal for complex parts with tight tolerances.

Swiss machining is particularly valuable in industries requiring micro-machining and high precision parts, such as medical devices, electronics, aerospace, and watchmaking. The ability to perform multiple operations in a single setup, including turning, drilling, and milling, makes CNC Swiss turning highly efficient for both small and large production runs.

The Main Benefit of Swiss Machining

Micro-Machining
CNC Swiss Turning is ideal for creating small, intricate parts with tight tolerances. The process is perfect for producing components such as miniature screws, pins, and other micro-sized parts that require extreme precision.
Long, Thin Workpieces
The unique design of Swiss-type lathes, with a guide bushing supporting the material close to the cutting tool, makes them perfect for machining long, slender workpieces. This setup reduces deflection and allows for precise machining of thin parts, such as shafts and rods.
High-Volume Production
CNC Swiss Turning is highly efficient for high-volume production runs. It can perform multiple operations—like turning, milling, and drilling—in a single setup, which significantly reduces cycle times and increases production efficiency.
Complex Geometries
This process is excellent for producing parts with complex geometries and multiple features. The multi-axis capabilities of Swiss-type lathes allow for the creation of detailed and intricate components in one continuous operation, making it ideal for parts with grooves, threads, and cross-holes.
High-Precision Tolerances
CNC Swiss Turning is known for achieving extremely tight tolerances, commonly as precise as ±0.01mm. This makes it essential for applications where precision is critical, such as in medical devices, electronics, and watchmaking.
Simultaneous Machining
Swiss lathes can operate multiple spindles and tool holders simultaneously, allowing for continuous and efficient machining of complex parts. This ability to perform several operations in parallel enhances productivity and consistency in part production.
