Swiss Machining

Swiss machining can be defined as a modern precision manufacturing technique capable of producing smaller, high length-to-diameter ratio parts running from simple to complex parts in a single operation. At Hogge Precision, our equipment is capable of producing parts with remarkable speed and accuracy.

In order to operate Swiss machines, bar stock material is fed through and supported by a guide bushing ensuring the material’s smooth entry into the machine’s tooling area. Only the actively machined section of the bar stock advances, reducing extraneous motion and vibration, resulting in an extraordinary degree of stability and precision that Swiss screw machining affords.

This precision is a primary, differentiating characteristic of CNC Swiss screw machining, enabling Hogge Precision to consistently deliver top-tier components across a range of industries, from aerospace to electronics. Swiss machines achieve this remarkable precision by meticulously controlling the feed of material and benefiting from the support offered by the guide bushing.

Hogge Precision’s Swiss machining offers distinct advantages over traditional methods. Swiss machining not only produces intricate, smaller parts with high length-to-diameter ratios in a single pass but are also set up for lights-out operations, reducing manufacturing costs.

We work with various materials, including aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, nickel alloys, carbon steel, bronze, brass, copper, and even plastics like Polycarbonate and Teflon. Our Swiss machining center expertise ensures that your choice of material is meticulously machined to perfection.
