From 2-axis to 22-axis, ESPRIT Swiss is CAD CAM software has also been specifically developed to program the most complex swiss-style lathes with sliding head stock, or fixed head stock. ESPRIT Swiss Turn is packed with power to handle the most complex, multi-function swiss mill-turn machines, while easy enough to quickly program even the simplest turning job. 

Swiss style lathes from OEMs like Citizen, Star, Tsugami, Hanwha, etc. with the most complex tooling, gang-style turrets and spindle configurations are easily programmed.

Production or Job-Shop, ESPRIT CAD CAM is a production-level software where tool control is a key element to shortening time-cycles and lowering quotes for large runs. 

NC-code optimization is a must for these high-volume jobs and ESPRIT allows the programmer to utilize any number of combination of custom lead-in routines and tooling cycles to shorten machine time, and lengthen insert, or tool, lifecycles.

For swiss machines that have entered the job-shop environment, or their production runs are over and the manufacturer is struggling to program these complex machines quickly and easily, ESPRIT Swiss can help.

ESPRIT enables programmers for these machines to program quickly and confidently so the machines can remain a productive element to the manufacturing company's shop floor by effectively supplying a steady stream of optimized programs.  

Proper Verification/Simulation of Swiss Lathe CNC Machining...
A complete tool kit to program any part on any lathe.

ESPRIT Swiss delivers production quality G-Code programs for swiss turning that are highly optimized to minimize cycle times and tool wear while maximizing part quality. Starting with a complete definition of the cutting tools and comprehensive / flexible machining cycles, tool path is quickly built from any 2D or 3D geometry, solids or surface model to accommodate any cutting requirements for these complex swiss style CNC machines. Built-in simulation and post processing round out a complete tool kits for programming any part on a swiss lathe. View your parts as they would be machined on the lathe, all in one window with one interface!

• 2-axis swiss turning
• C-, Y-, and B-axis mill-turn support
• Multi-spindle / gang-turret turning
• Swiss style machine post processor support
• Re-grip or re-chuck support for long parts
• Pinch turning support 

Complex Swiss Cycle Support...
Combining turning and milling operations into one G-Code program.

You can combine turning and milling machining operations in one G-code program with ESPRIT Swiss. Support of both C, Y and B axis mill-turn. Choose from milling contour - profile cutting, pocketing, or a variety of drilling machining cycles. Perform 2 1/2-axis milling operations on your lathe using its ZXC or ZXY axes. ESPRIT Swiss also provides the tools to perform rotary operations or even 3D operations for medical and aerospace work. The X-axis movement is converted into a rotary C-axis movement, effectively wrapping your shapes (pockets, holes, and contours) around the rotary axis. 3D operations are programmed exactly as they would on a CNC vertical machining center! This makes ESPRIT CAD CAM software an excellent tool for slotting and cross drilling - as well as expanding your company's clients to include work for very complex jobs that require 3D machining on a lathe.

• B axis support (angled tool holders) 
• 3D milling support on the swiss lathe
• Pinch turning for swiss or standard turning
• "Re-chucking", "super-imposing" and sub-spindle operation support

Tooling...
ANSI / ISO standard coding for turning tools, inserts and holders.

The ESPRIT tooling system supports it all, from standard boring bars to complex custom form tools. The tooling library uses ANSI/ISO standard coding for regular turning tools, both inserts and holders, to simplify the process of defining your tooling. During the creation of the machining cycle and simulation process the definition of the complete tool (insert, holder, and turret) is used to insure your confidence and a highly accurate result. Your custom tools can be drawn in any CAD system, or in ESPRIT, and imported into the tooling library. While using the ESPRIT SolidTurn Advanced, mill-turn option, the complete library of milling cutting tools is also available.

• Library of standard inserts - ANSI and ISO standard inserts for grooving, threading (top notch and lay down), and turning including square, round, trigon, and diamond
• Library of standard holders - ANSI and ISO standard holders with 25 turning and boring styles
• Unlimited custom tools and holders with any geometry C 3-axis and Y 4-axis mill-turn with power tooling
