CNC Swiss Machining Services
Our precision CNC Swiss machining services offer many capabilities that ordinary CNC turning cannot. The unique design of the CNC Swiss screw style machine allows for ultra-close tolerance machining by having stationary tools and feeding the material out of the collet. The Swiss screw machines are frequently used for smaller quantities with shorter lead times. Our Swiss machining services include boring, drilling, milling, turning, slotting, and more. Continental Manufacturing can machine close tolerance swiss screw machine parts in all quantities and materials.
The swiss screw machines at Continental Manufacturing include 7 axis close tolerance machining for multiple drilling and tapping features as well as OD and ID grooving from the sides and both ends. Located in Dallas, TX, Continental Manufacturing provides CNC swiss machined parts to clients nationwide.
Swiss Machining vs Screw Machining
Swiss machining often referred to as Swiss-type machining or Swiss screw machining, is often the more efficient option, delivering needed savings and lead times. There are several distinct differences between Swiss machining and screw machining. The Swiss turning tool is traditionally stationary while the stock moves, unlike conventional CNC turning. Another difference between the two processes is that Swiss-type machines do not use water as their cutting fluid. These machines use oil as their cutting fluid as the lubricity is greater and it reduces the growth of odor-causing bacteria. Traditionally, conventional CNC lathes will have fewer axes compared to Swiss screw machines (can have upwards of 13 axes).
Swiss Machining Capabilities
Our diverse line of CNC Swiss-type screw machines allows us to have many different capabilities:
- One Swiss machine handling up to 1” diameter material
- One Swiss machine handling up to ¾” diameter material
- Ultra close tolerance machining .0002"
- 5 and 7 axis machining for multiple features on the sides and ends
- Drilling, threading, knurling, and grooving at different angles.
