What is Swiss Turning? The Precision Advantage

The process of Swiss turning Machining (also called Swiss screw machining) is a process of precision manufacturing that is distinctly not a conventional lathe machining process. Falcon CNC Swiss is a leading Swiss turned parts supplier who has focused on unique Swiss machining capabilities that use a sliding headstock and guide bushing arrangement that are engineered to provide stability and accuracy when swiss turning small complex parts. This enhanced cnc swiss turning process can consistently be performed +/- 0.0002 inches (0.005mm) tolerances, and is particularly aligned with complicated swiss turned parts with precision.

The benefits of our swiss precision turning are in part due to a number of technologically beneficial aspects. The guide bushing provides support immediately next to the cutting tools, which minimizes deflection and vibration to near zero during machining. As a result, we can perform multiple operations like turning, milling, drilling, and threading at the same time in one station. The swiss turning process reduces production time considerably, while retaining uniform quality of production. Our many years being engaged with Swiss turning cnc machining allows us to leverage the advanced technology that is swiss turning along with the strictest quality control processes in delivering components with the most demanding specifications in demanding industries.

The Falcon CNC Swiss Quality Commitment

Client: Medical device manufacturer

Challenge: A leading manufacturer of medical devices reached out to our team at Protolabs for assistance manufacturing an essential component: a drive shaft for a new minimally invasive surgical device. Because this clearly was a crucial part of the equipment, the print included a complex set of tight tolerances across the component, with features measuring as small as ±0.0005", and requiring a flawless surface finish. Quality aside, the exterior of the machine was also important—and not just to keep germs from finding a home; everything mounted inside the actual surgery device had to operate in a sterile environment as part of the surgical implantation procedure.

Our Solution: In order to meet these requirements, we deployed our advanced Swiss machining services. Using multi-axis Swiss turning, our seasoned technicians took the complex design and quickly turned out the component from a biocompatible medical-grade titanium in a single setup. Our approach eliminated any need for secondary operations to maximize mechanical precision in making the part.

The Result: This project produced a reliable and high-volume run of drive shafts meeting each specification down the to the smallest of tolerances. The challenging part highlighted our capabilities as an effective Swiss turn parts supplier destined for future work with the industry.

FAQ of Swiss Turn Machining

Q: What is Swiss turning vs conventional?

 

Swiss turning, also known as Swiss screw machining, is a type of turning that involves holding the workpiece in a guide bushing, which supports the workpiece close to the cutting tool. This minimizes the amount of deflection and vibration in the workpiece, resulting in high-precision parts with excellent surface finishes. Swiss turning is typically used for small, complex parts that require high accuracy.

Conventional turning, on the other hand, involves holding the workpiece in a chuck, which rotates the workpiece while the cutting tool moves along its length. This method is more suitable for larger parts with simpler geometries, and is typically less precise than Swiss turning.

Q: What is the difference between a Swiss and normal lathe?

 

In a Swiss lathe, also known as Swiss screw machining, the workpiece is held in a guide bushing that supports it close to the cutting tool. This allows for high-precision machining of small, complex parts with excellent surface finishes. Swiss lathes are designed to minimize deflection and vibration in the workpiece, resulting in high accuracy.

In a normal lathe, the workpiece is held in a chuck that rotates the workpiece while the cutting tool moves along its length. Normal lathes are more suited to machining larger parts with simpler geometries and typically offer less precision than Swiss lathes.

Q: What is a Swiss turning Center?

 

A Swiss turning center is a type of CNC machine tool used in Swiss screw machining. It is designed to produce small, high-precision parts with complex geometries. Swiss turning centers are similar to traditional CNC lathes, but with additional features that allow for more precise and efficient machining of small parts.

The key feature of a Swiss turning center is the guide bushing, which supports the workpiece close to the cutting tool. This minimizes deflection and vibration in the workpiece, allowing for high-precision machining with excellent surface finishes. Swiss turning centers typically have multiple spindles, allowing for simultaneous machining of multiple surfaces and faster cycle times. Overall, Swiss turning centers are an essential technology for the production of small, high-precision parts across a range of industries.
