The Swiss lathe , also known as the walking type CNC lathe, mainly achieves the machining of workpieces through the axial movement of the spindle and the radial movement of the cutting tool. The workpiece is clamped on the spindle and rotates at high speed with the rotation of the spindle. At the same time, the tool moves precisely radially and axially along the guide rail to cut the workpiece. A Swiss lathe usually has multiple tool stations and can perform various machining operations simultaneously, such as turning, milling, drilling, tapping, etc., greatly improving machining efficiency.

Compared with traditional machine tools, Swiss lathe have many obvious differences.

Firstly, in terms of machining accuracy, the Swiss lathe has significant advantages. The spindle of the Swiss lathe adopts high-precision bearings and drive system, which can achieve high-speed and high-precision rotation. At the same time, the movement of the cutting tool is controlled by precision guide rails and servo motors, with high positioning accuracy and excellent repeat positioning accuracy, which enables it to process workpieces with high dimensional accuracy and good surface quality.

Secondly, the processing efficiency of the Swiss lathe is higher. It can complete multiple processes in one clamping, reducing the number of clamping times and adjustment time of workpieces, greatly improving processing efficiency. Moreover, the cutting tool system of the walking machine usually adopts a fast tool changing device, which further improves the flexibility and efficiency of machining.

Furthermore, the Swiss lathe has unique advantages in processing small and complex parts. Its cutting tools can perform multi angle cutting and can machine complex shaped parts. Traditional machine tools often require multiple clamping and adjustment when processing small and complex parts, resulting in low processing efficiency and difficulty in ensuring accuracy.

In summary, the Swiss lathe plays an important role in the field of mechanical processing due to its unique working principle and excellent performance. Compared with other machine tools, the walking machine has significant advantages in machining accuracy, efficiency, processing small and complex parts, and automation level. With the continuous advancement of technology, the technology of mind machine is also constantly developing and improving. We believe that it will play a more important role in the future field of mechanical processing.
