Precision Swiss Type CNC Lathes for Exceptional Manufacturing

Are you new to manufacturing and unsure which CNC lathe or CNC turning center to choose? Let’s explore their differences and advantages to understand which is better suited for your CNC project.

What is a CNC Lathe?

A CNC Lathe is a computer-controlled machine tool used primarily for shaping pieces of metal, plastic or wood by rotating them at high speed against a stationary cutting tool.

In simple terms, it’s a highly automated and precise machine of a traditional lathe. Instead of manual operation turning handwheels to control the cutting tool, a computer program directs the machine’s movements with extreme accuracy and repeatability.

Learning and mastering CNC turning centers requires combining theory with practice. Beginners are advised to start by understanding simple programs and learning tool setting operations, gradually progressing to more advanced techniques.

From infusion pumps and electrical probes to internal micro-components in surgical implants, these parts are now lighter, more compact and more efficient thanks to the precision turning processes performed by CNC Swiss lathe.

In the precision manufacturing industry, CNC Swiss lathe and conventional CNC lathe are common machining equipment.
