JSWAY CNC COMPANY Makes Slant-Bed Swiss Lathes Your Profit Multiplier

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.

Why choose a slant-bed Swiss lathe
• High rigidity: the wedge-shaped bed offers greater cross-sectional stiffness than flat-bed designs of the same footprint, enabling heavy cuts without deflection—ideal when turning stainless-steel shafts.
• Smooth chip flow: chips slide directly into the conveyor, eliminating manual stops and supporting 24-hour unmanned Swiss lathe lines.
• Compact footprint: the inclined layout provides a clearer operator view and reduces floor space, freeing up valuable workshop area.
• Combinable: JSWAY slant-bed Swiss lathes are pre-engineered for Y-axis, sub-spindle, and driven-tool interfaces, allowing a one-step upgrade to a turn-mill center without a second capital outlay.

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.
