CNC Swiss lathe Swiss XT

8-axisfor automotive applicationsfor mass production

Overview
The Swiss XT series is a Swiss-type CNC lathe family designed for compact footprint, ergonomic access to the machining area and flexible high-production turning and multi-tool operations. Available in 8- or 9-linear-axis variants, the family offers three independent tool systems, up to 42 tool positions and bar capacity up to 32 mm (38 mm without guidebush). Overall dimensions: 3056 x 1440 x 2242 mm.

Main advantages

• High throughput and power to maximize productivity and profitability
• Quick guidebush conversion for fast changeovers and flexibility
• Simplified programming with TISIS for quicker setup
• Optional plug-and-play B-axis for added machining versatility
• Double gang tool configuration to streamline multi-tool operations
• Optional ACB Plus for improved chip breaking and evacuation
• Interchangeable tooling for rapid, cost-effective transitions
• Design focused on precision and reduced footprint
• Multi-tool capability to consolidate operations and reduce cycle time
• Long Z1-axis mode available to extend workable part length
• Advanced motor configurations available for driven/rotating tools

Applications
Suitable for high-volume production and precision components across industries such as micro-mechanics, automotive, aerospace subcomponents, medical device parts and electronics. The Swiss XT supports turning, milling with driven tools, and complex multi-axis cycles for mixed-production environments.
