Swiss machining, also known as Swiss screw machining, is a CNC manufacturing process developed for small, complex-looking parts with high tolerances. Unlike traditional machining, Swiss machining employs a sliding headstock, providing continuous support for the material, resulting in superior accuracy and minimized material deflection.
At Falcon CNC Swiss, we specialize in high-quality Swiss machining services that meet or exceed the expectations of the most demanding specifications for a variety of industries.
Swiss Machining Service Benefits
Material Versatility: Swiss machining works well with various kinds of materials, such as stainless steel, titanium, brass, aluminum, and plastics.
Typical Tolerances Achievable with Swiss Machining
Swiss machining is well-known for being able to hold ultra-precise tolerances. Here are a few typical tolerance ranges:
Diameter tolerance: ±0.002 mm to ±0.01 mm
Length tolerance: ±0.01 mm to ±0.05 mm
Surface finish: Ra 0.2 – 0.8 µm
The level of tolerance achievable will depend primarily on the complexity of the part, type of material selected, and quantity of parts required. At Falcon CNC Swiss, our expert engineers are constantly working to determine process parameters to optimize every job meeting or exceeding the client's expectations.
Typical Use Cases/Industries
Swiss machining components have a variety of end-use applications in industries that require reliability and precision:
Medical Devices: Surgical instruments, implants, and diagnostic equipment will typically require biocompatible material and tight tolerances.
Aerospace: Small vibration resistant fasteners and precision parts for avionics and control systems.
Electronics: Miniature connectors, pins, and components in communication devices and semiconductors.
Automotive: Fuel injection components, sensors, and electrical connectors.
Industrial Equipment: Heavy-duty shafts, pins and bolts for manufacturing use with strict requirements for quality.
