CNCSwiss Screw Machining
Whether it’s a component in a helicopter rotor or a pacemaker, sometimes the smallest parts matter the most in a machine that performs with lives on the line. These critical parts cannot be overlooked or manufactured improperly. When you need precision and detail in small, complex parts; you need Swiss Screw CNC Machining.
What is Swiss Screw CNC Machining?
Swiss Screw machining, or Swiss turning, is a type of specialized process for machining small parts that are performed on a Swiss Screw CNC Machine, or Swiss lathe. This machine pushes and spins material through a guide bushing where tools come into contact and cut it down with extreme precision. As parts get smaller, the advantages of Swiss turning become even greater since traditional lathes can exert too much pressure on small parts during the process and destroy them. In short, the Swiss Screw Machine is the best for turning small, complex parts.
