ESCOMATIC
What is Escomatic Machining?
An Escomatic is a cam-driven lathe that uses a unique tooling configuration to produce highly precise parts more quickly than a standard or CNC Swiss lathe. Originally developed in the 1940s by Swiss watchmaker Willy Rosetti, the Escomatic lathe design was intended to produce high-quality burrs for wristwatches. Today, Escomatics are used across the industrial landscape to produce high-precision parts of low- to medium-complexity.
Unlike traditional CNC machines, which rotate stock material on an axis, Escomatic lathes rotate tooling around the material, which remains stationary. This inversion allows Escomatic Swiss machines to complete jobs quickly—without sacrificing tooling quality.
