Over the past 40 year Crawford Swift has designed and built a number of special purpose machines, typical examples of which are as follows:

  • Vertical Turning machines
  • Vertical Roll Turning Machines
  • Acrylic Polishing Machines
  • Roll Marking and Notching Machines
  • Rotor Slot Milling Machines
  • Roll Grinding Machines
  • Roll Texturing Machines
  • Roll Loaders
  • Chock Manipulators
  • Hosan In Line and Rotary Transfer
     Machines
  • Hosan Spindles

SPECIAL PURPOSE VARIANTS:

Sliding Gap Bed Lathes:
The sliding bed allows components up to 3000mm (118") in diameter with varying lengths to be accommodated. When closed the machine reverts to a standard DATA lathe configuration, typical applications are Aircraft Under Carriage, Crane Hook and Sheave manufacture.

T bed Lathes:
The T bed series offer many advantages over standard machines for large diameter chucking applications, including easy loading and access, plus greater stability for machining across a large diameter face.

Offset Bed Lathes:
Allows components up to 3000mm (118") in diameter and 10,000mm (394") in length to be machined efficiently and is ideally suited to Drum or Roller turning applications.

Thread Whirling Machines:
Ideal for the manufacture of Ballscrews, Actuator Screws, Extruder Screws, Worm Shafts, Cams and other Helical Path machining.
