Hardware: every JTMX turn-mill center offers a high-resolution rotary axis and built-in polar interpolation.
Software: JS-CAM generates polar tool paths automatically and flags potential collisions; cloud post-processors support major control brands.
Service: every machine purchase includes hands-on polar programming training and lifetime remote support.
In short, polar coordinates turn rotational surfaces into a brief dialogue of radius and angle, letting turn-mill centers achieve complex shapes with shorter programs and fewer tool changes. Choose JSWAY CNC COMPANY and turn polar formulas into ready-to-use productivity.
Ball guideways use point contact between steel balls and raceways, delivering low friction and rapid response—ideal for light to medium loads at high speeds. Roller guideways rely on line contact between cylindrical rollers and raceways, significantly boosting load capacity and rigidity—perfect for heavy cutting or long-travel applications. In short: choose ball for speed and energy savings, choose roller for load and precision.
JSWAY turns both options into plug-and-play modules. Light-duty Swiss-type lathes and gang-tool lathes leave the factory with ball guideways for balanced cycle time and cost; heavy-duty turn-mill centers are upgraded to roller guideways to maintain micron accuracy under heavy cuts. Even better, the same slide can later be switched between ball and roller with a simple component swap—no downtime, no waste.
Tell JSWAY your workpiece weight and cycle-time targets, and we’ll provide free load calculations and guideway recommendations, letting “fast” and “strong” coexist on a single machine. Choose JSWAY for a solution you select once and trust for years.
A slant-bed—also called an inclined-bed or angled guideway—positions the machine ways at an angle to the horizontal. Instead of sliding flat, the carriage moves downward along the slope, using gravity to evacuate chips and lowering the machine’s center of gravity. This design gives Swiss-type lathes extra room for frequent tool changes and long-bar machining.
JSWAY slant-bed Swiss lathe highlights
• Factory-fitted pre-tensioned ball screws and large-diameter angular-contact bearings deliver micron-level positioning accuracy.
• Standard hollow hydraulic chuck and auto-bar-feed interface allow one-setup, non-stop machining of long bars.
• Optional JS-Edge temperature and vibration sensors stream data to the cloud; AI algorithms give early warnings.
• “Slant-bed retrofit kit” lets you convert existing flat-bed machines to JSWAY slant-bed modules, avoiding full-machine replacement costs.
One-sentence promise
Turn gravity into productivity—choose JSWAY slant-bed Swiss lathes and turn every long bar into higher profit.
Function Overview
Spindle bearings are the “heart valve” of Swiss-type lathes, carrying loads, maintaining rotational accuracy and reducing heat. JSWAY selects P4/P2 precision angular-contact bearings with ceramic balls. Dynamic balancing and preload calibration at the factory keep every spindle whisper-quiet even under high-speed, heavy cuts.
Structural Highlights
• Dual-labyrinth + low-friction lip seals block coolant and chips.
• Optional ceramic balls or DLC coating extend service life and suppress temperature rise.
• JSWAY patented adjustable-preload design allows on-site clearance tuning without factory return.
Daily Maintenance Package (JSWAY Service)
Cleaning: after each shift, JSWAY field engineers demonstrate a three-step chip-blow method to keep end caps spotless.
Lubrication: JSWAY high-speed grease is available through the official store with one-click reordering—no risk of mixing incompatible greases.
Temperature & Vibration Monitoring: built-in JS-Vibe sensors stream data to the cloud; AI alerts you to bearing anomalies before damage occurs.
Accuracy Recheck: customers can request JSWAY annual on-site inspections, including roundness test cuts and clearance verification, with reports delivered on the spot.
Spare-Parts Assurance: safety stock of matching bearings ships to your site within 24 hours.
In short: pick the workpiece first, then the machine, let the process dictate the rest, balance accuracy against maintenance, and finalize with budget and brand. A hydraulic chuck chosen this way will give any gang-type lathe or turn-mill center the triple benefit of secure clamping, fast change-over, and low total cost.
When a workpiece features bosses, grooves, or angled surfaces, conventional chucks often require multiple setups that waste the high-speed potential of a Swiss lathe. JSWAY’s custom fixtures are designed to mirror the part profile, allowing the machine to complete everything in one clamping.• Quick-change interface: swap fixtures without re-indicating, eliminating downtime between batches.• Built-in clearance: the fixture body itself provides tool relief, so back-working spindles and live tool turrets can machine inner and outer diameters, face slots, and angled holes simultaneously—no second setup needed.• Stable support: multi-point form contact suppresses vibration at high rpm, giving sensors cleaner data and making thermal compensation and tool-life predictions more reliable.JSWAY offers complimentary custom-fixture evaluations: send your part model and receive a tailored fixture concept along with a full process simulation that aligns cycle time with quality.Choose JSWAY and turn complex contours into simple profit—one clamping, full completion.
Purpose of Evaluation
Turn-mill machining squeezes multiple operations into a single machine, shortening cycle time but lengthening the error chain. Process evaluation is the virtual rehearsal of the entire machining cycle in digital space to find bottlenecks, collisions, over-cuts or residual-stress hot spots—eliminating costly trial cuts and downtime.
