Uniparts spare parts for Cam-operated automatic lathesERT

The Swiss company Uniparts extends the life of cam-operated automatic lathes with a wide offering of spare parts and attachments for most of this kind of machinery by Tornos, such as model MS7, and also for automatic lathes made by other producers such as Bechler and Petermann.

Tens of thousands of traditional cam-operated automatic lathes are still tirelessly mass-producing precision parts for the watch, automotive, dentistry and electronic industries globally, where small parts are machined with tolerances in the region of one micron. The old-school cam-operated automatic lathes, also named Swiss-type lathes, are simple machines that can produce parts in very long series, which make them extremely cost-effective and worthwhile to keep running. That’s the reason why, as long as spare parts are available, they keep on cutting, turning, taping, knurling and drilling crucial parts for a wide array of products 24/7.

Ensuring that users don’t run out of spare parts and tools, Uniparts produces and offers since 1997 spare parts available for instant delivery for Swiss-type lathes made by well-known manufacturers. Most of UniParts’ customers are end users, with service workshops as the other main customer segment. The company’s main markets are in Switzerland and Europe, but India, USA and Japan are also growing markets.
