Swiss Machining Services Overview – Benefits, Tolerances & Use Cases

Table of Content [Hide]

    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

    • Exceptional Precision: Swiss machines can achieve tolerances as finely as ±0.002 mm, which is exceptionally high precision for parts requiring accuracy. 


    • Complex Geometries: Multi-axis Swiss CNC machines allow us to machine complex parts with multiple features in a single setup, while also avoiding secondary operation for the most part. 


    • High Production Efficiency: Continuous bar feeding and simultaneous machining results in higher throughput and shorter cycle times. 


    • Material Versatility: Swiss machining works well with various kinds of materials, such as stainless steel, titanium, brass, aluminum, and plastics. 


    • Cost-Effective for Small Parts: For small diameter parts, Swiss machining can reduce tool costs and waste material compared to other processes. 


    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.
