Swiss CNC Machining

Modern Swiss lathes have 7 to 13 axes and are able to perform multiple operations faster in a single machining cycle, such as drilling, grooving, Swiss milling, thread cutting and parting, etc.

In contrast, traditional CNC lathes usually only have 3 to 5 axes and may not be able to complete the machining of parts in a single cycle, limiting production efficiency.

Swiss lathes frequently utilize oil as a coolant, significantly enhancing the precision of tolerances achieved during machining. Oil possesses a lower heat capacity when compared to water-based coolants, enabling Swiss machining processes to conduct and dissipate heat more efficiently.

Unlike CNC machining, which often fabricates a part in a single operation, Swiss machining strategically produces parts in distinct sections. This methodical approach ensures that the final dimensions of each section meticulously meet the required tolerances, enhancing overall precision and quality.

Typically, machining involves clamping rod-shaped material in a chuck behind a guide bushing. In Swiss machining, the cutting tool runs close to the guide bushing to prevent deflection. Therefore, Swiss machinery has a movable headstock that remains within the required tolerances regardless of the length of the workpiece.

Swiss CNC machine tools using CNC Swiss machining technology are renowned for their superior manufacturing precision and accuracy. Through highly intelligent automation and advanced control systems, these machines ensure exceptional consistency of parts within micron-level tolerances.

CNC Swiss machining technology achieves the ultimate increase in production efficiency by processing complex features and profiles in a single device. The perfect integration of simultaneous milling and turning operations eliminates the need for additional machining setups and significantly reduces production cycle times.

Utilizing the tight integration of simultaneous milling and turning operations, CNC Swiss machining significantly reduces part manufacturing lead times. Workers no longer need to frequently move parts between machines, resulting in a more efficient and faster manufacturing process.

The highly automated nature of CNC Swiss machine tools significantly increases productivity. Operators simply load raw materials and set processing parameters, and then let the machine do the rest automatically, greatly reducing labor-intensive tasks.
