Tsugami Swiss – type automatic lathe is a kind of high – precision and high – efficiency CNC lathe, mainly used for the machining of small – sized precision parts. It is widely applied in fields such as watches, medical devices, electronic components, and automotive parts.
1.Core Features of Tsugami Swiss – Type Automatic Lathes
– High Precision: The repeat positioning accuracy can reach ±0.002mm, and the surface roughness is below Ra0.4.
– High Efficiency:
– Multi – axis linkage supports simultaneous processing of multiple operations (such as external cylindrical turning, drilling, grooving, etc.).
– The sub – spindle automatically picks up the workpiece, enabling seamless continuous processing.
– Complex Machining Capability: Optional modules include the Y – axis, power tools (milling, tapping), and back – spindle.
– Compact Design: Suitable for small – sized parts (usually with a diameter ≤32mm), saving space.
2. Differences between Swiss – Type Automatic Lathes and Ordinary CNC Lathes
– Swiss – Type Machining: While the workpiece is rotating, the tool moves along the Z – axis, and the spindle box (the end where the workpiece is clamped) also moves synchronously (“swiss – type” motion). This enables the machining of slender parts with a large length – to – diameter ratio.
– Tool – Post Machining: Only the tool moves, and the workpiece rotates while being fixed (the traditional lathe method). This is suitable for short and thick parts.
– Tsugami Swiss – Type Automatic Lathes combine the advantages of both. They are usually equipped with a sub – spindle and can perform complex machining operations such as turning, milling, drilling, and tapping. This reduces the need for re – clamping and improves precision.
