Complex Swiss CNC Machined Parts Made to Your Satisfaction

We turn demanding designs into finished Swiss CNC machined parts that meet your drawing requirements. Even when a part has a difficult structure or closely related critical features, we focus on dimensional accuracy, functional fit, and surface quality — so you receive reliable parts ready for inspection and assembly.

Pins and precision shafts

Pins & Precision Shafts

Long, small-diameter parts with controlled straightness, concentricity, and surface finish.

Bushings and sleeves

Bushings & Sleeves

Thin-walled cylindrical parts with precise bores, outside diameters, grooves, and shoulders.

Screws and custom fasteners

Screws & Custom Fasteners

Swiss screw machined parts with external or internal threads, drive features, cross holes, and custom heads.

Connectors and electrical contacts

Connectors & Electrical Contacts

Small conductive components with fine threads, slots, flats, and closely positioned connection features.

Nozzles and fittings

Nozzles & Fittings

Parts combining internal flow paths, sealing surfaces, threads, tapers, and side ports.

Complex turned components

Complex Turned Components

Custom parts requiring several turning and cross-machining operations within a single production cycle.

How We Control Slender and Small Parts

Slender and miniature parts are sensitive to cutting pressure, heat, vibration, and tool wear. We adjust the support, tooling, cutting parameters, and inspection plan around each part’s geometry to prevent these risks from affecting the finished components.

Part Bending or Deflection

Long, narrow parts may bend under cutting force, causing diameter variation or poor straightness. We support the material close to the cutting point and control cutting loads to keep the part stable throughout machining.

Is Swiss Machining Right for Your Part?

Swiss CNC machining is best suited to small-diameter, slender, or feature-rich parts that are difficult to produce consistently with conventional turning. Use the guide below to determine which process better fits your part.

S Swiss CNC Machining

  • The part is long or slender and requires support close to the cutting area.
  • Critical diameters, threads, holes, and grooves must remain accurately aligned.
  • Turning, milling, drilling, threading, or back-side features are required on one part.
  • Multiple setups could increase dimensional variation or extend lead time.
  • Repeat orders require consistent dimensions from batch to batch.
VS

C Conventional CNC Turning

  • The part is short, rigid, or relatively large in diameter.
  • The geometry mainly consists of simple external and internal turned features.
  • Only a few parts are required and Swiss-type setup costs would outweigh the production benefits.
  • The component does not require extensive cross-machining or back-side features.

Swiss Machining FAQs

What is Swiss CNC machining?
Swiss CNC machining supports the bar stock close to the cutting point, reducing deflection while the material moves through a guide bushing. This makes it suitable for producing accurate components with small diameters, slender profiles, and complex multi-operation features in a single cycle.
How is Swiss CNC machining different from conventional CNC turning?
Conventional turning holds the workpiece in a fixed chuck, leaving more material exposed during cutting. A Swiss-type CNC machine supports the material near the tool and can complete features on multiple sides in one cycle, which helps hold critical alignment on long, slender parts.
What parts are best suited for Swiss machining?
Swiss machining is commonly used for precision shafts, pins, bushings, sleeves, custom fasteners, electrical contacts, connectors, nozzles, fittings, and valve components. It is especially valuable when a part combines a small diameter with cross-machined features and tight alignment requirements.
What size parts can you manufacture?
Our current Swiss CNC machining range supports bar diameters from Ø1 mm to Ø32 mm and part lengths up to 300 mm. Final feasibility depends on the material, length-to-diameter ratio, feature locations, and tolerance requirements.
What tolerances can Swiss CNC machining achieve?
Typical dimensional tolerances are ±0.01 mm, with tolerances down to ±0.005 mm achievable for selected features. Diameter, runout, concentricity, straightness, and feature-position tolerances are confirmed through drawing review before production.
What length-to-diameter ratio is suitable for Swiss machining?
Swiss machining is especially useful when the unsupported portion of a part would be difficult to control on a conventional lathe. There is no single ratio suitable for every design; feasibility depends on the material, feature geometry, and tolerance requirements.
Can Swiss machining complete a part without secondary machining?
Many parts can leave the machine with turned, cross-machined, threaded, and back-side features already completed. Separate grinding, deburring, heat treatment, plating, or specialized finishing may still be required depending on the drawing requirements.
How can I reduce the cost of a Swiss machined part?
Avoid unnecessarily tight tolerances, extremely deep holes, sharp internal corners, long unsupported sections, and multiple non-standard thread sizes. Clearly identify critical-to-function dimensions so tighter controls are applied only where they matter.
