Job description

Swiss Machinist (Tsugami & Citizen)

A Swiss CNC machinist operates a Swiss-type computer numerical controlled (CNC) machine, also called a Swiss lathe or Swiss screw machine. These machines are used to manufacture parts to predetermined specifications. The Swiss lathe pierces, cuts, and drills raw materials, and your skills help shape the final product. As a Swiss machinist, your responsibilities begin with studying product drawings to determine how to program your machine to cut the pieces you need. Your duties may include setting up and operating the machine, revising for offsets, measuring and inspecting parts, and completing accompanying paperwork.

Qualifications for a machinist role begin with a high school degree, but many jobs also require a background in working with machinery. Your career as a Swiss machinist also benefits from prior mathematical and metalworking knowledge.

Familiarity with CAD and CAM software is also helpful.

CNC Swiss Machining

A Swiss-type lathe consists of a variety of turning machines that feed the tube stock through a guide bushing. This means the OD turning tool can always cut the stock near the bushing, and therefore, near the point of support, no matter how long the workpiece. The machine feeds the work out of the spindle and past the tool as it goes. This makes the CNC Swiss-type particularly effective for long and slender turned parts.
