Swiss-type machine tool

Type of turning center designed to turn small, complex, precision parts. It has an automatic lathe that has a sliding headstock and a guide bushing. The sliding headstock is the part of the machine that holds the bar stock and rotates it. The cutting tools move in and out of the material to create required diameters while the headstock moves the material forward to create required lengths. Swiss machines generate the features of the part by moving the material and the tool at the same time.
