​
What is Swiss screw machining?
Swiss screw machining is a machining process that uses a Swiss-type machine. It differs from other machining equipment in that the cutting head is always cutting close to the guide bushing so there is minimal deflection and it yields high tolerences for long parts.
​
What is the difference between CNC machining and Swiss machining?
The main difference between traditional CNC turning and Swiss machining is that Swiss machines have a moveable head stock that enables the work piece to spin and move along the Z-axis, when using conventional lathes, the work piece remains stationary .
​
What are the advantages of Swiss screw machine?
-
Live tooling allows knurling, cutting, end slotting, threading, milling and turning in one operation
-
Better For Tight Tolerances & Complex Parts thanks to the cutting head occurring near the guide bushing
-
Less Deflection allows tolerances up to .0002"
-
Swiss Screw Machines Offer Design Flexibility since live tooling can perform all of the operations
-
High Production Efficiency- parts drop complete quickly
-
Less handling of the part means better precision and lower cost parts​​
