CNC Swiss lathe Swiss DT series

for small parts productionfor small workpiecesfor production lines

Overview The Swiss DT 7 & Swiss DT 10 are Swiss-type sliding headstock lathes engineered for precision small-part production. They combine a compact footprint (≈25% smaller than comparable 6-axis machines), modular configurations and up to 33 tools to reduce machining time while maintaining repeatable accuracy. High-frequency air spindles and optimized drive power support faster cycle times and fine surface finishes suitable for Electronics, Automotive, Medical & Dental and Micromechanics applications.

Key benefits

• Compact footprint for space-constrained production cells
• Scalable modular configurations to match process requirements
• Up to 33 tools with up to 8 rotating tools for multi-process capability
• Approximately 10% faster cycle times compared with previous generation
• High repeatability for batch-after-batch consistency

Medical & Dental

• Swiss-level accuracy for complex medical and dental geometries
• Faster changeovers (≈15% reduction in setup time) to support custom or small-batch production
• High repeatability suitable for surgical-grade components

Micromechanics

• Micron-level precision for tiny components and assemblies
• 33-tool capacity enables combined turning, milling and drilling operations
• Suitable for small gear shafts, micro-screws and other miniature parts

Electronics

• Platform designed for precision electronic components and connectors
• High-frequency spindles facilitate fine surface finishes and tight tolerances
• Compact build integrates easily into modern production lines

Automotive

• Adapted for high-volume, tight-tolerance small parts such as connectors and bushings
• High output with short cycle times and repeatable accuracy
• Modular options allow process-specific tooling layouts
