CNC Swiss lathe Swiss XT

8-axisfor mass productionfor bar machining

Overview
The Swiss XT series is a compact sliding-headstock lathe family designed for precision turning with a small footprint and configurable axis/tooling options. It targets applications requiring multi-tool operations, short-cycle micromechanics and cost-efficient production.

Main advantages

• High spindle speed and power to maximize productivity
• Quick guide-bush conversion for fast changeovers
• Simplified programming via TISIS control
• Optional plug-and-play B-axis to expand machining capability
• Double gang tool configuration for reduced cycle times
• Affordable ACB Plus option for effective chip evacuation
• Interchangeable tooling to lower tooling-change costs
• Designed for precision and sustainable operation
• Multi-tool operations to increase throughput
• Long Z1-axis mode for extended workpiece lengths
• Advanced motor options for rotating-tool functions

Description
The Swiss XT combines compact external dimensions (3056 x 1440 x 2242 mm) with three independent tool systems and multiple configurable axis options. Its architecture supports turning, milling and multi-axis operations through optional modules. Machine access is optimized for operator ergonomics and part handling, while the platform provides a market-oriented cost structure suitable for production of precision components.
