Swiss Machining

What Is Swiss Machining?

Swiss machining is a type of CNC machining that uses specialized cutting tools to turn metal stock into three-dimensional goods. This process is cost-effective and precise, both of which are critical to achieve and maintain profitable machining operations.

At Advanced Industries, we utilize this manufacturing method to deliver intricate or delicate designs at scale for customers in a range of applications. Learn more about our services and how we use Swiss machining to guarantee consistently error-free production.

Benefits of Swiss Machining

While CNC machining generally offers many advantages over other manufacturing techniques, Swiss machining services maximize those advantages. These advanced machines can faithfully follow design files to create incredibly complex goods without errors, variances, or breakage, even for thin and delicate components. Some of the key advantages companies see from using Swiss machining include the following:

Less transition time. Swiss machined goods with milled or turned features don’t require as many setups as with other machining options. This reduces time spend and makes the process more efficient.
Speed. Overall production speed is also faster. Swiss machining centers can complete goods much faster and can accommodate short lead times.
Better surface finish. The surfaces of Swiss machined goods are smoother and have fewer blemishes, burrs, and errors.
Ideal for delicate or thin shapes. Swiss machining equipment can create long and narrow parts with much less deflection or chatter.
High accuracy. Swiss machining centers can operate within stricter tolerances to create more accurate and precise goods.
Versatility. A wide range of metals and alloys can be used with Swiss machining equipment.

At Advanced Industries, we can use Swiss machining to create more accurate, error-free products and complete orders at faster speeds, making our services ideal for a range of machining requirements.

Common Applications of Swiss Machining

Swiss machining services from Advanced Industries meet the needs of demanding, niche, and rapidly evolving markets with high-quality components. Some of the industries that see the greatest benefits from Swiss machining include the aerospace, medical, electronics, and automotive industries.

Aerospace

Aerospace companies need incredibly accurate components that can fit in compact assemblies with no risk of error or malfunction. Our Swiss machining processes can achieve complex designs for essential components and different types of fans and fasteners using steel or lightweight aluminum alloys.

Medical Devices

As medical devices and tools continue to become more sophisticated, they need manufacturing techniques that can deliver components within tight tolerances and industry standards. Swiss machining and lathing from Advanced Industries can produce very fine, delicate components like implants and surgical instruments within tight margins.

Electronics

Modern electronic assemblies and components need to be small and compact while maintaining precision and adherence to design parameters. We can use Swiss machining with components like connectors, pins, and more to deliver the desired results.

Automotive

Swiss machining services from Advanced Industries are ideal for creating small components for advanced engine systems and in-built electronic assemblies. Not only can Swiss machining meet evolving regulatory and design demands, but it can also help reduce automotive costs by speeding up manufacturing and reducing waste.
