SolidCAM Swiss Machining – Precision. Productivity. Profit.

 

Take your Swiss-type turning to the next level with SolidCAM’s Swiss Machining module — the ultimate solution for complex, multi-turret, multi-spindle CNC programming.

⚙️ Smarter Programming for Complex Swiss Machines

Program even the most demanding parts with ease. SolidCAM’s Swiss module simplifies the entire workflow, supporting any number of spindles, turrets, and channels — from compact Citizen and STAR models to advanced Tsugami and Tornos systems.

  • Complete machine support for all major Swiss CNC brands

  • No limits on axes, channels, or simultaneous operations

  • Offline programming & simulation eliminate downtime and risk

🚀 Maximise Throughput, Minimise Setup Time

Get the most from every cycle. The Swiss module’s intelligent Channel Synchronization Manager lets you program, balance, and verify multi-channel operations for peak performance.

  • Detect and prevent collisions and clashes automatically

  • Synchronise multiple turrets and spindles for true parallel machining

  • Full machine simulation ensures safe, optimised toolpaths

 

🔧 Total Tool Control – Designed for Swiss Precision

Manage even the most complex tooling configurations with ToolKit, SolidCAM’s limitless tool library.

  • Import tools directly from CAD catalogues

  • Support for multi-cutter holders, small inserts, and custom tooling

  • Visualise every tool in the virtual machine before cutting

🧠 Built-In Swiss Intelligence

SolidCAM’s Machine Control Operations (MCOs) automate the repetitive, time-consuming tasks that slow production down.

  • Pre-programmed cycles for bar-feed, part pick-up, coolant, and ejection

  • Support for thread whirling, polar interpolation, and custom thread profiles

  • Automatic phase and axis synchronisation for multi-axis control

🎯 Confidence Through Full Simulation

Before you cut metal, see everything.
SolidCAM’s real-time simulation provides complete collision detection for machine components, fixtures, tools, and holders — with multi-viewport visualization of both spindles and the entire part transfer process.

💡 Why It Matters

For CNC shops, SolidCAM Swiss Machining means faster programming, higher spindle utilisation, and error-free production.
For machine buyers, it adds measurable value — showing that a Swiss-type machine is fully tooled, proven, and ready for complex production.

More capability. More confidence. More profit — powered by SolidCAM.
