5 REASONS RAPIDO ANNIHILATES GUIDEBUSHING SWISS MACHINES


The Eurotech Rapido is totally unique—a one-of-a-kind machine. With the power and rigidity of a larger multi-axis machine and the speed that outproduces Swiss-type machines, the Rapido is revolutionizing the industry.

Check out the top five reasons the Rapido is becoming a go-to in Swiss-type heavy milling applications.


The Rapido is twice as fast, which equals a reduction in cost and increased profitability


The compact design of the Rapido gives customers a 50% savings in floor space



The Rapido is designed from the ground up to run unattended with both the software

and the gantry system


The Rapido is much more flexible with tailstock or long tools, 2-axis spindle, and 3 tools in the cut


The ultimate machine for bar work, the Rapido is perfect for 1.5” diameter or small and chuck work 4” or smaller


1. Rigid design of the Rapido delivers 3x the HP, improved cycle times, longer tool life, and better part finishes then traditional Swiss-type machines.

2. By eliminating the guide bushing, the Rapido delivers parts with no blend lines. Run bar stock from different lot runs and short remnants

3. Offers more flexibility! Hand load a part to make changes. Machine remnants—1.5” bar or up to 4” chuck capability

4. Get 300% greater work envelope on the Rapido for safer setup and improved chip control

5. More efficient process for tough and stringy material. Perfect for parts 20mm to 38mm and chuck work of 4” or smaller

With tool holders that go to ER25 weighing 4-5 times that of Swiss-type machines, the Rapido has a clear advantage in power and rigidity, offering more productivity than their Swiss-type counterparts. These tools reach 6,000 RPM and have 6 HP!
