From prototype development to high-volume production, we help customers manufacture precision parts with confidence.
What is Swiss Turning?
Swiss turning is a machining method specifically designed for small-diameter, slender, precision parts. Its core feature is the use of **guide bushings** to support the workpiece throughout the machining process, ensuring the cutting point remains close to the guide bushing.
Compared to traditional CNC lathes, Swiss turning effectively suppresses vibration and deformation when machining slender parts, achieving higher dimensional accuracy, coaxiality, and surface quality. It is particularly suitable for mass production where high consistency is required.
Why Swiss Machining?
Swiss machining is designed for small-diameter, high-precision parts that are difficult to machine efficiently on conventional lathes. With a guide bushing system and sliding headstock, the workpiece is supported close to the cutting zone, reducing deflection and improving accuracy.
Key benefits of Swiss machining:
- Superior precision on small parts
- Excellent stability for long, slender components
- High repeatability for batch production
- Reduced vibration and tool deflection
- Multi-operation machining in one setup
- Efficient production for complex features
