Tornos CT20-5: Precision Swiss-Type CNC Lathe

The Tornos CT20-5 is a Swiss-type sliding head CNC lathe engineered for high-precision production of small, complex components. Its compact design and robust construction make it well suited for industries such as medical device manufacturing, electronics, aerospace, and high-precision subcontract work.

Built around a 5-axis configuration with dual independent tool systems, the CT20-5 enables efficient multi-operation machining in a single setup. The machine’s rigid structure and precise axis control deliver excellent repeatability and surface finish, even on long production runs. A C-axis integration on both spindles adds indexing capability and extensive milling, drilling, and tapping versatility.
