Nexturn SA(PII) Series – 7-Axis Swiss Lathes with Exchangeable Guide Bushings
The Nexturn SA(PII) Series of high precision CNC Swiss type automatic lathes are engineered for exceptional accuracy, stability, and productivity in today’s high-demand precision turning environments. Available in 20mm (0.787″), 32mm (1.26″), and 38mm (1.496″) bar capacities, these 7-axis CNC Swiss machines—with or without rotary synchronous guide bushings—deliver outstanding results for medical, aerospace & defense, automotive, electronics, and general small-parts production.
Designed to compete with top brands such as Marubeni Citizen-Cincom, Star, Tornos, Hanwha, Doosan, Mazak, Swiss-Tech, and Swissturn, the SA(PII) Series combines precision engineering with premium Japanese and German components—including Fanuc CNC controls and motors, NSK ballscrews and bearings, THK linear guideways, FAG bearings, and KHK gears—to ensure world-class rigidity, repeatability, and reliability.

Benefits for Metal Cutting and Parts Manufacturers
The Nexturn SA(PII) Series provides manufacturers with superior performance and flexibility for a wide range of materials and part complexities.
- Exceptional rigidity and stability: One-piece cast-iron bed designed with FEM analysis minimizes vibration and ensures high-accuracy machining.
- High-speed performance: Rapid traverse rates up to 1,260 IPM (32 m/min) and high-torque spindles reduce cycle times while maintaining ultra-fine surface finishes.
- Dual-spindle machining: Independent main and sub-spindle control allows simultaneous front and back working, dramatically improving productivity.
- Precision and accuracy: Pre-tensioned ballscrews and precision linear motion guideways maintain micron-level repeatability during long production runs.
- Thermal stability: Inverter-driven spindle oil cooling maintains consistent cutting accuracy and thermal balance.
- Ease of operation: The sliding operator door provides clean, ergonomic access, while the Fanuc 0iT-F Plus dual-path control simplifies programming and setup.
These machines enable faster cycle times, superior part finishes, and long-term reliability — ideal for industries where tolerances, speed, and consistency are mission-critical.
