Swiss Turning Services
Swiss-type automatic lathes are designed for high-volume production of small-diameter, long, and complex precision parts. With a sliding headstock and guide bushing, material feeds directly behind the cutting tool, eliminating deflection and achieving tight tolerances on slender components.
Advantages of Swiss Turning
High Volume Output
Swiss-type lathes run continuously and unattended, ideal for production runs from 1,000 to 100,000+ parts
Tight Tolerances
Achieves ±0.01mm accuracy on parts from φ1mm to φ20mm, verified by CMM inspection
Deflection Control
Guide bushing eliminates chatter on long slender parts with 10:1 length-to-diameter ratios
Single Cycle Completion
Combines turning, milling, drilling, and tapping in one setup, no secondary ops
Technical Information
Our Swiss-type automatic lathes feature sliding headstock and guide bushing design, capable of handling bar stock up to φ20mm. With machining accuracy down to ±0.01mm and supported by CMM inspection, we deliver high-precision miniature components for medical, electronics, and aerospace industries.
