The precision of a Swiss CNC machine is unmatched; however, industry lead times vary based on part complexity and order volume. Placing an order without considering project scope or timelines might leave you waiting for your components longer than expected. Micro-Matics is dedicated to producing quality orders with lower-than-average lead times.
What is a Swiss CNC Machine?
Swiss-Style Computer Nnumerical Control (CNC) machining is a precision manufacturing technique that uses specialized CNC Swiss lathes to produce parts with tighter tolerances than standard machines.
Unlike regular CNC lathes, Swiss lathes feature a movable Z-axis stock mount and increased spindle velocity, enabling Swiss machines to produce complex, intricate components faster than a normal CNC lathe. The machines at Micro-Matics are capable of manufacturing precision screw machine products ranging in diameter from .010” (0.25 mm) to 1.250” (32 mm) and maintaining tolerances to within plus or minus .0001” (.0025 mm).
Swiss CNC Machining for a Variety of Industries
Swiss CNC machines are programmable, making them a versatile option for OEM workshops. A well-trained operator can reprogram a Swiss lathe in just a few minutes, allowing a single machine to produce a broad range of custom components for industries ranging from medical to defense.
Medical: We produce a variety of precise components for surgical instruments and respirators.
Aerospace: Micro-Matics manufactures many lightweight and durable parts for aircraft and spacecraft, including jet engine and rocket components.
Commercial: We pride ourselves in creating various components for consumer products and industrial applications, including gas valve systems.
Average Lead Time for Typical Swiss CNC-Made Products
Several factors contribute to the lead time of Swiss CNC-made products, including product type, complexity, quantity, and industry demands and regulations. While standard CNC lathes are reasonably efficient, Swiss lathes cut lead times down to as little as two to six weeks.
