What is Swiss type Lathe machining

Swiss Lathes (also known as swiss machines, swiss-type turning machines, and sliding headstock machines) were originally designed for “long and skinny” parts (typically 6:1 length to diameter ratio or larger). The principle behind the swiss machine is that the bar moves to the tool rather than the tool moving to the bar (in the Z direction). This vastly reduces the amount of deflection during precision swiss machining since the cutting action occurs closer to the guide bushing. E.J. Basler has the capabilities to machine various material grades including red metals, 303, 304, and 316 stainless steel, and aluminum.
Generally, Swiss Machines have one or two spindles. This allows the Swiss Machining lathes to be fast and efficient in creating custom parts – some in as little as 10-15 seconds. This makes them great for large production runs on small-diameter parts.
