When Swiss-type turning is the right choice
In Swiss-type turning the bar is guided in a guide bushing right next to the cutting edge. The part barely deflects, so long, thin parts can be made to tight tolerances: pins, axles, screws, contact parts, and parts for medical devices and watches.
What matters about the Swiss-type lathe
The key figure is the bar capacity, usually between 12 and 38 mm. A sub-spindle and live tooling finish the part completely, so it drops off the machine done. Swiss-type lathes are at their best in series production; setting up rarely pays for a handful of parts.
Frequently asked questions
From what quantity does Swiss-type turning pay off?
That depends on the part and the shop. As a rule of thumb it becomes economical from a few hundred parts, because setup takes time. Ask the shop directly with your quantity.
Which materials are possible?
Free-cutting steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminium and titanium as drawn or ground bar are common. Each listing states which materials the machine runs.
Is one of your machines idle next week?
