A turning device known as a Swiss-type lathe feeds the stock through a guiding bushing. This means that regardless of how long the workpiece is, the OD turning tool may always cut the stock close to the bushing and, thus, close to the point of support.
A lathe known as a Swiss Lathe has the collet or holding mechanism hidden underneath the guide bushing. The Swiss turning centres, Swiss automatic lathes, and Swiss screw machines are other names for the Swiss lathes.
In a conventional CNC lathe, the workpiece is normally held firmly on one or both ends while rotating quickly in a set position. In contrast, a Swiss lathe allows the workpiece to move back and forth along the Z-axis as various tools remove the part’s features.
The way the workpiece is handled primarily distinguishes Swiss turning from standard turning. Unlike Swiss turning centres, which feed the workpiece via a guide bushing so that the machining is always done close to the support point, conventional turning centres retain the workpiece at one or both ends.
In general, Swiss machining refers to the Swiss-designed CNC lathe that rotates components radially as it cuts the workpiece. The procedure not only offers enhanced precision over other comparable approaches, but is also cost-effective.
The Global Swiss Lathe Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
SV-38R, the current high-functioning model for large-diameter machining, will be replaced by SX-38, a new model of Swiss-type automatic lathe that Star Micronics Co., Ltd. has developed. SX-38 is targeted at the manufacturing industries of medical, automotive, and aviation-related devices and is capable of machining up to 38 mm diameter.
This sliding head automated lathe was created using the Swiss automatic lathe’s design, but without the guide bush. It is not ideal for cutting long and narrow pieces without a guiding bush. However, such material can be handled well if the workpiece is brief and does not deflect.
The rear side of a bar material must be handled as waste when using a Swiss-type automatic lathe because a piece of it the size of the guide bush structure, which serves as a steady rest for the material, cannot be machined.
Compared to the waste produced by the guide bush type, the non-guide bush type decreases the waste to about 1/3 the length.
