Swiss machining, also known as swiss turning or swiss screw machining, is a precise way to create complex parts with high accuracy.In Swiss machining, the bar comes to the tool, not the other way around (in the Z direction). This reduces deflection and boosts stability, leading to better precision. CNC Swiss machining is especially good for detailed projects needing tight tolerances, especially for small parts.
Swiss machining moves parts in different directions, cutting them very accurately. Like 5-axis machining, Swiss machines rotate parts in 5 directions for super accurate cuts. Swiss Machines usually have one or two spindles. This helps them make custom parts fast, sometimes in just 10-15 seconds. They’re perfect for making many small parts in big production runs.
Swiss Style Machining is great for making small, long, and intricate parts. Unlike other machining methods, where the tool moves towards the part, in Swiss Machining, the part moves towards the tool. This gives really precise results for thin, long, and small parts, no matter how complex they are. The special design also lets the machine do turning and milling at the same time as the part moves. This not only lets us do both operations on one machine, but also at the same time, making the process super efficient and fast.
Our Swiss-Type CNC lathes are perfect for
machining precision parts with complex
configurations and profiles in one setup
incredibly fast.One of the key benefits of Swiss
Style Machining is the ability to machine smaller,
longer and more complex parts. In other forms of
machining, the tool approaches the open turning
part whereas in Swiss Machining the part is guided
and supported to the tool which allows for
excellent accuracy for longer, thinner components
and small parts however complex.
Generally,
Swiss machining is well-suited for producing long,
slender parts. Typical lengths can range from
around 150mm (6 inches) to 450mm (17.71 inches),
although some machines might be able to handle
longer parts with additional support systems.
Kintec’s swiss-style lathes are designed to
handle small-diameter parts efficiently. The
maximum diameter can range from around 1mm (0.04
inches) to 38mm (1.49 inches)
Swiss machining offers many advantages, it is best suited for small, high-precision parts. For larger parts or components that don’t require the same level of precision, other machining methods may be more suitable. Swiss machining has benefits, but suitability varies.

EDM(Electrical Discharge Machining) is a specialized machining process that uses electrical discharges or sparks to remove material from a workpiece. EDM is a versatile method that addresses challenges posed by various materials, shapes, and precision requirements in industries ranging from manufacturing to medical devices and beyond.
CNC milling is utilized to craft intricate prismatic forms and flat surfaces, catering to a diverse range of commercial and industrial products. Multi-axis CNC machines possess the ability to achieve their precision and versatility without relying on fixed tooling. Their design allows them to adapt easily to various tasks and shapes, resulting in high flexibility.
Surface finishing involves various manufacturing processes designed to enhance a product’s appearance, durability, and performance. Common methods include polishing, painting, sandblasting, plating, powder coating, brushing, anodizing, and heat treatment, among others. These techniques improve visual aesthetics, protect surfaces from wear and corrosion, and can also enhance specific mechanical properties depending on the application.
