Why Aerospace Requires Swiss Screw Machining

  • Ideal for small complex aerospace fasteners
  • Superior accuracy on long, slender parts (L/D > 3:1)
  • High production rates for aerospace hardware
  • Excellent surface finishes without secondary operations
  • Multiple operations in single setup

Typical Applications

Aerospace fasteners and pins
Electrical connectors
Valve stems and seats
Hydraulic fittings
Sensor components
Actuator pins

Materials Commonly Machined

Stainless steelTitaniumAluminumBrassInconelKovar

Technical Considerations

  • Guide bushing supports workpiece near cutting zone
  • Multiple tools cut simultaneously for efficiency
  • Bar stock typically under 1.25" diameter
  • High-speed spindles (8,000+ RPM common)
