Why Precision CNC/Swiss Machining
Precision CNC/Swiss machining is a subtractive manufacturing process that uses computer-controlled machines and machine tools to produce precision parts and products from human-engineered designs.
Advantages of Precision CNC/Swiss Machining
Compared to other manufacturing methods, precision CNC/Swiss machining offers numerous advantages, such as:
- Greater precision. Precision CNC/Swiss machining operations generate components with exceptional precision. Since the equipment employed is designed to follow specific instructions with no unprogrammed variation, it can produce parts in large quantities with minimal variation.
- Lower risk of error. Using CNC machines to produce precision CNC/Swiss machined parts and products minimizes the risk of human error affecting production. Since CNC machines are programmed to perform a set of actions.
- Faster speeds. Computerized machining operations boast better speed than manual machining operations. Additionally, CNC machines can operate continuously resulting in greater production capacities.
Smaller production costs. The precision CNC/Swiss machining process offers greater precision, lower risk of error, and faster speeds, which translates to smaller labor requirements, and shorter turnaround.
Material, Size, and Tooling Considerations
The CNC machining process is suitable for both metal and non-metal materials. Some of the most commonly used materials include:
Steel | Stainless Steel | Aluminum | Brass | Copper | Bronze |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1018 | 303 | 2011 | 260 | C145 | 314 |
