Introduction of Swiss CNC Machining
Swiss machining is a type of precision manufacturing where parts are formed by CNC unit-operated lathes which rotate the part in a radial motion when cutting it. This type of specialized tool cutting allows the machine to perform several operations at once in a shorter amount of time.
Ward Precision’s specific Swiss lathe turning applications center on micromachining in the 1mm to 4mm diameter range, as well as complex B axis milling and eccentric applications up to 26mm in diameter.
5-Axis Machining with Ward Precision
CNC Swiss machining allows for the lathe to move a component along several different axes, giving the part a precise cut with the tightest tolerances. Much like with Swiss machining, 5-axis machining lathes can rotate a component along 5 different axes, allowing for the most accurate cut for each component. 5-axis machining can be used for a wide variety of applications.
The precision and accuracy with 5-axis machining is unmatched, and no matter if you work in the medical industry or at an aerospace company, 5-axis machined parts are necessary for the most high-quality precision parts that exceed industry quality standards, and with its low cost of production, this type of machining is the best option for you.
