Unlike traditional lathes, Swiss-type machines perform material machining close to the guide bushing. This design minimizes vibration and material deflection during the machining process, ensuring exceptional precision even when producing long, slender parts.<\/p>\n

How does Swiss-type turning work?<\/h3>\n\n
In a Swiss-type lathe, the bar stock moves through a guide bushing, while the cutting tools remain stationary or move independently around the workpiece. Because the material is supported directly at the point of cutting, machining forces are significantly lower, resulting in higher precision and superior surface quality. Thanks to multiple tool holders, Swiss-type machines can perform several machining operations simultaneously\u2014including turning, milling, drilling, threading, and cross-drilling\u2014producing complex parts in a single setup.<\/p>\n

Key advantages of CNC Swiss-type turning<\/h3>\n\n
Exceptional precision \u2013 Swiss-type machining ensures outstanding dimensional accuracy and repeatability, making it ideal for parts with very tight tolerances.
Superior surface quality \u2013 the stable machining process yields a high-quality surface finish, often reducing the need for secondary operations such as grinding.
Higher productivity \u2013 multiple tools can operate simultaneously, significantly reducing cycle times and improving production efficiency.
Production of complex parts \u2013 Swiss-type machines can produce components with highly complex configurations in a single machining cycle. Cost-effective production \u2013 reduced setup times, lower material waste, and higher machining speeds make Swiss-type lathes suitable for medium- and high-volume orders.<\/p>\n

Materials that can be machined<\/h3>\n\n
Swiss-type lathes are suitable for a wide range of materials, from commonly used carbon steels (e.g. 1.0718, S235, S355, C45, 42CrMo4 etc.) <\/span>and stainless steels (e.g. 1.4305, 1.4301, 1.4404, 1.4571 etc.)<\/span> to aluminum (e.g. AL 6082, AL 6060, AL 2011, AL 7075 etc.)<\/span>, brass (e.g. CuZn39Pb3 and other)<\/span>, copper alloys, and titanium. Also various engineering plastics, such as POM, Ertallye, PE1000, Nylatron, Teflon, PTFE, PC and other,<\/span>\u00a0can also be machined.<\/p>\n Baltma combines modern CNC technology with extensive manufacturing experience, ensuring precision and compliance with both client requirements and international standards.
