June 03, 2025 10:00 AM America/New_York

SolidCAM is your ecosystem for digital manufacturing, providing best-in-class tools for all of your CNC machining needs. One of the more challenging machining tasks is programming sliding head lathes, often called Swiss-type, and ensuring perfect accuracy for your finished product. However, thanks to SolidCAM, managing complex multi-turret and multi-spindle machines has never been easier.
Join us for an in-depth 45-minute webinar where we explore how to program a sliding head lathe using SolidCAM’s integrated programming interface. We'll start with an introduction to Swiss machining, exploring its unique features and advantages. After that, we'll dive into how SolidCAM integrates seamlessly with these machines, providing a powerful and user-friendly interface for programming. Through a detailed step-by-step demonstration, you'll learn how to program a sliding head lathe using SolidCAM, from setting up the machine to creating toolpaths and optimizing machining efficiency with channel synchronization.
