ESPRIT Swiss CNC Lathe

ESPRIT Swiss CAM software is specifically developed to program the most complex swiss-style lathes with sliding head stock, or fixed head stock, or a combination of both. ESPRIT Swiss CAM 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. 

Easily program swiss style lathes from OEMs like Citizen, Star, Tsugami, Hanwha, etc. with the most complex tooling, gang-style turrets and spindle configurations.

  • Milling: Profiling, slotting, hexing, channeling, drilling, grooving, threading, 3D shapes, etc
  • Turning: Multi-turret, Multi-gang support, OD, face, threading, etc.

    Generate optimized NC-code for turning, C-axis and Y-axis slotting or hexing. Even B-axis to support angled tool holders or 3D surface/solid milling with complete synchronization, post processing and machine simulation!

  • Proper Verification and Simulation

    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

    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
  • Quoting

    ESPRIT Swiss delivers production quality G-Code programs for swiss turning that are highly optimized to minimize cycle times, reduce remnant waste, and preserve 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.
