Swiss Screw Machines produce the precision demanded by today’s electronic components While electronic, telecommunications, and wireless products become smaller and smaller, the demand for precise components grows bigger every year. Today’s transistors, diodes, integrated circuits, resistors, capacitors and so many other devices require tolerances that were unheard of just a few years ago. That’s why… Read more »
Whether it’s firearms manufacturing, aerospace engineering or any type of defense system component in between, precision in production can never be questioned. And we are not just talking about components for small arms and rifles such as firing pins, fuzing components, takedown pins, etc. Virtually every component on tanks, jets, rockets and weaponry is precision… Read more »
2020 was a strange and difficult year for individuals and business. In precision manufacturing, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought on new challenges and resulted in advances in manufacturing. Workforce reductions and restriction have placed greater emphasis on computer-aided manufacturing and automation. While some aspects of precision manufacturing such as planning, engineering and programming can carry… Read more »
Manufacturers in many industries are recognizing the benefits of Swiss style tools such as cutting costs and being more efficient. A number of industries are starting to now use Swiss type machining. The durable goods industry has discovered that Swiss-lathes are highly beneficial and help improve output. The electronics and medical industries are becoming more… Read more »
In the 1940’s, Willy Rosetti, a Swiss parts maker, had a problem with a burr on a watch part he was trying to produce. Conventional radial-fed cut-off tools that he was using generated the burr that needed to be filed off. Willy came up with a new turning concept that we now know as Esco,… Read more »
Medical component manufacturing requires a machine flexible in its design that it can create any geometric shape that can be conceived. Swiss-style lathes represent a key process for manufacturing many medical parts. Bone screws are one type of medical component that uses Swiss machines. This is due to the productivifty of the machines and ultimately… Read more »
Screw machines are automated lathes which can machine turned parts. The machine components spin very quickly on a rotating lathe, which shaves down metal to the size desired. There are two types of screw machines: Turret and Swiss machine. The Turret, also known as. Brown & Sharpe after its first manufacturer, mounts the workpiece on… Read more »

The latest machining technology should be used in your warehouses and workshops to accurately create medical components. Swiss-style lathes are a great combination of precision and repeatability due to their guide-bushing design, which provides support for the workpieces very close to the cut. Most businesses recognize that the US medical market offers more opportunities for… Read more »
A screw machine is a type of lathe used for the precise shaping of hard materials (usually metal) into specially designed components. Typically, this equipment works by rotating a workpiece at high speeds and allowing it to be operated on by various changeable cutting tools. Screw Machine might be a misleading term for this machine… Read more »
