CNC Swiss lathe Swiss GT

6-axis40 toolsfor small parts production

Overview
Automatic Swiss-type turning machines offering a complete standard equipment package. The Swiss GT range provides easy access to all tool positions and straightforward maintenance via automatic lubrication, swarf tray and a large removable oil pan. Available in 13, 25.4 and 32 mm diameters for economical production of long and short turned parts.

Main advantages

• Ergonomic, modular design
• Operation with or without guide bushing
• B axis option for extended machining capability
• Optional simultaneous 5-axis machining
• Modular tooling system on rear platten
• Simple setup and adjustment
• High tooling capacity (up to 40 positions)

Functional details
The Swiss GT 26 and Swiss GT 32 accept up to 40 tool positions (including 14 driven tools); the Swiss GT 13 accepts up to 30 (including 12 driven). The Y axis increases counter-spindle machining capability and can enable some complex parts to be produced without secondary operations. The modular B axis available on the 26B and 32B provides a position for a fourth rotating drilling station or a thread-whirling head.
