Is a sliding head automat right for your part?
Swiss-type sliding head lathes and multi-spindle bar automats for long, slender and high-volume small parts.
Sliding head (Swiss-type) machines support the bar in a guide bush close to the tool, so long, slender parts stay accurate. Multi-spindle automats suit very high volumes of simple parts.
Send your part drawing, material and monthly quantity, and we will confirm whether this machine fits – or suggest one that fits better.
Questions buyers ask
Can I see this machine running before I buy?
Yes. Ask for a video walk-around under power, a visit, or a test cut where the seller allows it. We also help check the spindle, ways, backlash and control history.
What parts suit a sliding head automat?
Small, long and slender parts from bar – pins, shafts, connectors, medical and electronic parts – usually up to about 20–32 mm diameter.
Cam automat or CNC sliding head?
Cam automats are economical for very long runs of one part. CNC sliding head machines change over faster and handle more complex parts.
Do sliding head machines need a bar feeder?
Yes, a bar feeder or loader is normally part of the package for continuous production.
Is the price negotiable and what is included?
The quote lists the price, the accessories included and the location. Transport, dismantling and installation can be added on request.
