SWISS TURNING MACHINES

A Swiss turning machine, often referred to as a Swiss-type lathe, is a high-precision machine tool used primarily for machining small, intricate parts with high accuracy and tight tolerances. These machines are particularly ideal for producing components in industries such as medical devices, aerospace, automotive, and electronics, where precision and part complexity are paramount. The key feature of a Swiss turning machine is its ability to perform turning operations with the workpiece held in a collet and supported by a guide bushing. This setup provides superior stability and accuracy, especially for long, thin, or small-diameter parts.
