Swiss-type Turning

The Most Advanced Swiss-Type Turning for Your Manufacturing Needs.

Swiss-type turning, also known as Swiss-style turning or Swiss machining, is a highly specialized form of precision machining used to produce small, complex, and high-precision parts.

Swiss-type turning is widely used in industries where precision, complexity, and efficiency are critical requirements. Parts commonly produced using Swiss-type turning include components for surgical instruments, connectors, fasteners, and miniature mechanical assemblies.

The advantages of Swiss-type turning:

1. Enhanced precision: The close proximity of the cutting tool to the guide bushing minimizes deflection and vibration, resulting in high accuracy and surface finish.
2. Long, slender parts: The guide bushing provides excellent support for long, slender workpieces, allowing for the machining of components with high length-to-diameter ratios without the risk of bending or deflection.
3. Complex geometries: Swiss-type turning machines are equipped with multiple axes (often including live tooling) and can perform turning, milling, drilling, and tapping operations in a single setup. This capability enables the production of complex parts with intricate features in a single operation, reducing cycle times and increasing efficiency.
4. Material efficiency: Since Swiss-type turning typically operates with bar stock fed through the guide bushing, it allows for efficient use of material with minimal waste, making it particularly suitable for high-volume production runs.
