Swiss-Type CNC Machining for Aerospace Precision Parts
Swiss-type CNC machining excels at producing small, complex precision parts with exceptional accuracy. The sliding headstock design provides superior rigidity for long, slender parts common in aerospace fasteners and fittings.
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
Materials Commonly Machined
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)
