I. Core Differences Between Swiss Type Lathe and Sliding Tool Lathe
Both Swiss type lathes (sliding headstock lathes) and sliding tool lathes are CNC horizontal lathes, but they differ significantly in working principles, structures, and application scenarios:

Advantages of Dual-Spindle Machining vs. Traditional Single-Spindle MachinesI. Definition and Core Functions of 5-Axis Swiss Lathe.A 5-axis Swiss lathe (5-axis sliding headstock lathe) is an advanced version of Swiss-type lathes, combining sliding headstock machining principles with 5-axis technology for one-stop production of high-precision, complex  parts.

A Swiss type lathe (also known as Swiss CNC lathe or sliding headstock lathe) is a high-precision machining tool designed for manufacturing small, complex parts, especially long and slender shafts. Its working principle revolves around the “moving spindle + fixed tool” concept, combined with multi-axis technology for one-stop processing.
