What is Swiss Machining?

CNC Swiss Type (sliding headstock) automatic lathes. Swiss machining was originally developed to provide intricate, tightly tolerance parts for the watch industry.

These intricate parts required numerous machining operations to create the features needed.

Especially suited for:

• Long parts having protracted length to diameter rations, 73/1, 710/1, 740/1
  
• High tolerance specifications
  
• Complex multi-featured parts – eliminate secondary operations.

Sliding Headstock, allows for:

• Zero deflection on long parts
  
• High precision cylindrical parts
