Swiss-type lathes are usually equipped with an automatic feeder during production, so that materials can be fed automatically during production without the need for personnel to stay by the machine all the time. Commonly used raw materials include round bars, square bars, hexagonal bars, etc. (all require different chucks and guide sleeves).
Swiss lathes are usually used for the production of small parts, and the raw materials are long bars or square materials. Usually, the maximum outer diameter of the bar that can be clamped is 32, and some can also reach a maximum of 35. If it is larger, it will be made into a structure like a tool-feeding machine (such a structure has good rigidity). Swiss lathes generally have relatively poor rigidity, so products with large cutting forces are best not to be processed on Swiss lathes.
