Swiss Type CNC Automatic Lathe A253, 3 Axis Swiss Lathe Mechanical Spindle

Products Description

CNC Swiss Lathe A253 is a compact, high-precision machine for crafting metal and plastic components, ideal for custom and intricate parts. It comes ready to run with necessary software and accessories, features a small machine footprint, and allows for versatile machining. It's suitable for small to medium-sized projects, offering accuracy and cost savings.

What makes a Swiss lathe different?

Swiss-type lathe machines are designed for making small, precise parts. The swiss type cnc automatic lathe is different from a conventional lathe in several ways.

First, swiss-type lathes have a smaller footprint and require less floor space than a conventional lathe. Second, swiss cnc lathes have a shorter bed length, which allows for more accurate machining of smaller parts. Third, swiss-type lathes are equipped with high-pressure coolant systems that enable the machining of difficult-to-cut materials. Finally, swiss-type lathes are equipped with live tooling, which allows for the machining of complex parts with multiple axes of rotation.

Swiss type lathes offer many advantages over conventional lathes and are an essential tool for any shop that specializes in the machining of small parts.

What types of parts are typically produced on Swiss CNC lathes?

Swiss lathes are commonly used for producing small parts with complex geometries and tight tolerances, such as medical components, aerospace parts, and electronics. Some examples of applications include:

– Medical components, such as surgical instruments, implants, and prosthetics

– Aerospace parts, such as connectors, fittings, and valves

– Electronics components, such as connectors, pins, and sockets

– Automotive components, such as fuel injectors, valves, and connectors

– Precision watch parts, such as gears, screws, and pins

– Firearms components, such as triggers, barrels, and firing pins

– Hydraulic and pneumatic components, such as fittings and connectors

– Dental components, such as implants, abutments, and brackets

– Optical components, such as lenses, prisms, and mirrors

– Fasteners, such as screws, bolts, and nuts

5 Tips for Swiss Lathes

Running a Swiss-type isn’t the same as running a traditional lathe. Here are a few tips for Swiss CNC operators.

WHEN to Use a swiss type cnc automatic lathe?

It is best when parts have milled and turned features that require precision machining. Swiss CNC machining allows for many milled features (flats, hex edges, slots, left hand threading etc.) to be produced during the turning process without the need for multiple setups on additional equipment, providing greater production efficiencies with one process.

The rotary broaching process can be performed on these machines to cut standard or custom shapes into or onto a workpiece.

The ID centered rigid tapping or thread milling processes can be performed on the JSWAY CNC Swiss A253. You can also thread milling by using the live tools. There are multiple Swiss tooling companies that you can find a perfect tool for each application. 

When smaller, more complex parts are needed. Typically, those parts are non-standard parts and can not be sourced directly. Examples would be tamper proof bolts, special nuts, pins, custom mechanical parts, nozzle inserts, pick and place tips, antique jewelry and watch parts, gunsmithing parts, bullets, custom knives, fasteners, rc car and drone parts. JSWAY can reduce the lead times and offers more flexibility for the production volume compared to outsourcing the parts production to other companies. 

Most of the Swiss-type parts are less than 1” (25 mm) in diameter, with the majority being less than ¾” (19 mm) in diameter. You can make 1 milimeter diameter parts with less than 0.0002" tolerance. When the volumes are not too big to use the expensive and oversize Swiss cnc machine, JSWAY offers a lot of cost savings, lead time reduction and more flexibility.
