Swiss-type automatic lathe (commonly known as a Swiss lathe or sliding headstock lathe) is a high-precision CNC machine tool. Its defining feature is that the bar stock moves axially (feeds) through a guide bushing while the cutting tools remain stationary. This design provides continuous support to the workpiece near the cutting point, minimizing deflection and enabling the machining of slender, complex, and miniature parts with exceptional accuracy.
Swiss-type lathes are typically equipped with multiple spindles and a combination of live tools (turning, milling, drilling, tapping, etc.), allowing complete machining of a component in a single cycle. This eliminates multiple handling and setup errors.
