Swiss Lathe in automated parts mass production

In the modern manufacturing industry, connector pins, electronic cores, positioning pins, screws and other small standard parts are widely used in automotive, communications, medical, consumer electronics and other fields. These parts have the typical characteristics of “small volume, high precision, high repeatability, high demand”, which puts forward the requirements of “efficiency and stability” for processing equipment. With its unique structural design and automation capability, the Swiss CNC Lathe has become a mainstay in the mass production of standard parts.

Multi-functional machine, adaptable to a variety of standard parts structure

Although the batch parts are standard parts, their structure is not single, and they often contain a variety of machining features such as threads, rounded corners, grooves, and internal holes, etc. The Swiss CNC Lathe is equipped with front and rear spindles. The Swiss-type lathe is equipped with front and rear spindles and multiple power tooling systems, supporting turning, drilling, tapping, milling, chamfering, and other processes in a single clamping, reducing the need for transportation between equipment and repeated tool setting, and dramatically shortening the machining cycle.

Stable output and high repeatability

The key to mass production is “batch-to-batch consistency”. The Swiss-type lathe adopts the structure of “guide sleeve + moving spindle”, which effectively supports the axial stability of long and thin workpieces during machining, and ensures that the dimensional control accuracy of each part is within ±0.003mm. The tool wear monitoring and size compensation function can adjust the tool position in real time during machining to avoid size fluctuation caused by tool fatigue.

Outstanding automation capability for all-day operation

Swiss CNC Lathe is naturally adapted with a bar feeder, which supports continuous machining of entire bundles of long materials without frequent manual loading and unloading. At the same time, it is equipped with an automatic unloading device and a finished product catch box, realizing a true “black light factory” processing mode from raw material loading to finished product collection.

Rapid program change, flexible response to order changes

Despite the large volume of standard parts, rapid changes in models and batches are the norm. The Swiss-type lathe supports fast program switching and modular tool layout, which can complete the switching of different products within 30 minutes, greatly improving the response speed of orders. Even with frequent changes in customer orders, Swiss CNC can still deliver stably without affecting the overall capacity plan.
