This term, Swiss Machining,  is often used in the CNC machining industry. Swiss is the name of a country. Does Swiss Machining mean manufacturing in this country? Of course not. So let's learn about it together.

Swiss machining is a manufacturing technique that offers specialized tool cutting designed to turn metal stock into complex, slender, or delicate components that require tight tolerances. Swiss machining generally refers to the Swiss-designed CNC-operated lathe that turns parts in a radial motion as it cuts the workpiece. The process is not only cost-effective, but it presents increased precision over other similar methods.

CNC Swiss-style machining can machine longer, slender, and more complex parts with incredible accuracy, efficiency, and throughput. The technology is used widely in the medical industry where highly exacted standards are necessary for components such as surgical screws and tools. But other industries besides the surgical tools and devices used in the medical field benefit from parts and components produced by Swiss machining – aerospace, computers and IT, electronics, energy and fuel systems, precision timing, and defense systems all rely on the advantages that this technique offers. Implants, shafts, contact pins, housings, inserts, and sockets are all commonly created via this type of machining.

If you have any Swiss-style machining parts that need to be produced, pls feel free to contact us. Thank you.
