Swiss CNC Machining and Turned Parts Manufacturer

Several key elements of Swiss machine turning include segmented machining, workpiece characteristics, guide bush maintenance, cutting tools, machine size, and how to avoid burrs. Swiss-style CNC lathes have excellent machining accuracy and flexibility. In addition to providing the processing performance and control advantages of traditional CNC machine tools, Swiss-style lathes also have some of their own characteristics. The efficient application of Swiss-style lathes requires a completely different method from ordinary lathe processing.

The development of Swiss-type CNC machine tool technology has helped to make these machine tools widely used in medical, aerospace, automotive, electronics and general metal processing. When the ratio of length to diameter of a complex workpiece will deviate during turning, the Swiss machine tool can be made effective by using a slidable headstock capable of feeding on the Z axis.

What is Swiss machine turning?

The Swiss lathe is a type of lathe in which the collet or holding mechanism is recessed behind the guide bushing. Swiss lathes are also known as Swiss turning centers, Swiss automatic lathes or Swiss screw machines. The difference between a Swiss lathe and a traditional lathe is that the collet holding the bar is not directly exposed under the mold and bed of the lathe. This type of configuration gives the machine tool certain advantages over traditional lathes.

Generally, Swiss machining refers to a precision manufacturing process, where components are produced on Swiss machines, and the parts rotate and move radially. Due to the unique design of Swiss machines, CNC Swiss turning services allow simultaneous execution of multiple operations in several areas in a short period of time. Therefore, the speed of machining is greatly improved. This type of machining technology is often used in small precision CNC rotating parts projects.

The advantage of Swiss lathes over traditional lathes is mainly due to the use of guide bushings. The purpose of the guide bushing is to provide additional support for the material while the part is being turned. The guide bushing tightly but not tightly surrounds the bar stock. The function of supporting the bar and the guide bushing is similar to that of being fixed on the carriage of a traditional lathe.

Swiss-style lathes usually have better tolerances on the parts because the turning operations are performed in the immediate vicinity of the guide bushing. The guide bushing provides rigidity to the turned part, because after leaving the bushing until the turning tool is engaged, only a few blanks are exposed. With the rigidity of the blanks imparted by the guide bushings, these machines are particularly suitable for maintaining tight tolerances. Another benefit of the Swiss lathe is that it can turn small diameter parts or parts with a large aspect ratio. Due to the juxtaposition of the tool/guide bushing, tool jitter can usually be minimized.

There are two types of Swiss lathe machines. Mechanical lathes use cams, gear systems and mechanical linkages to move the headstock and manipulate collets and tools. These types of machines have been replaced by computer numerical control (CNC) Swiss lathes in many places.

Swiss CNC lathes will utilize many computer-controlled components. During machine operation, many of these components can be adjusted. The advantage of the CNC Swiss lathe is that by adding a computer and its controlled components, the accuracy of the traditional machine tool can be maintained while improving the function of the machine tool.

Modern types of CNC Swiss lathes may include multi-spindle and powered auxiliary tools, moving tailstocks or auxiliary spindles. Depending on the required part configuration, some Swiss lathes have the ability to turn and machine complete parts. This eliminates the need for secondary operations.

The disadvantage of all Swiss lathes is bar residue. These are generally longer than traditional types of lathes and are generally considered waste products. The configuration of the chuck and guide bushing in the machine will cause a large amount of residue to remain.

What is a Swiss machine and how does a Swiss lathe work?

Swiss machine tools, also known as Swiss screw machines, Swiss lathes, Swiss automatic and sliding headstock lathes. It was developed in Switzerland in the 19th century, and its original function was to support the mass production of micro screws. Swiss-style machines can achieve higher precision and precision than traditional lathes, especially when producing very small parts. In traditional CNC lathes, they can only rotate in a fixed position, so the machine can only perform one operation at a time. On the Swiss lathe, the workpiece can both turn around and move back and forth along the z-axis, and it can perform multiple operations at the same time. The bar material is conveyed through the guide bushing, and the tool is installed on the surface of the guide bushing, so the force is exactly where the material emerges from the bushing, which will minimize the influence of the tool force on the part and then ensure higher accuracy. In addition, Swiss turning machines can not only manufacture turned parts, but are also suitable for the production of complex profiles without turning surfaces.
