Swiss Screw Machines

About Swiss Screw Machines

Swiss screw machines or automatics are turning machines that use computerized numerical control (CNC) to machine high precision components. Swiss screw machines have a sliding headstock, guide bushings, and cross tools that can produce very small parts up to 1.250 in. diameter with consistently excellent surface finishes.

Swiss screw machines are a type of automatic or motion controlled lathe that performs very precise turning, lathing and machining of metal parts. Swiss screw machines use a sliding headstock that moves the feed stock past the cutting and facing tools during operation. The feed stock is held by a collet located in the sliding headstock and by a guide bushing. This keeps the feed stock from vibrating or bending and eliminates any play that might cause defects in the parts. The cross tools used in a Swiss screw machine are cam-controlled to move only in a straight line to and from the center of the feed stock. The cutting tools are arranged in a fan-like configuration around the guide bushing. The radial movement of the cross tools and the longitudinal movement of the sliding headstock allows a Swiss screw machine shop to produce very precise and intricate parts for use in small applications.
