CNC Swiss Turning

When the Part Is Small and the Stakes Are High

Swiss turning is the most demanding process in precision machining — and it’s where MicroPrecision has built its reputation. We run CNC Swiss lathes capable of holding tolerances others won’t quote, on materials others won’t cut.

Are These Swiss Turning Problems Costing You?

  • The Issue: “They can’t hold the tolerance on the small diameter”

    The Fix: Swiss Turning Is All We Do.

    Our Swiss machines are dialed in for sub-.0005″ tolerances on long, slender parts where conventional lathes deflect and fail.

  • The Issue: “Every batch has a slightly different dimension”

    The Fix: Consistency You Can Measure.

    Real-time vision system inspection on every run catches drift before it ships. Your first piece and your ten-thousandth piece match.

  • The Issue: “They quoted 12 weeks”

    The Fix: Expedited Prototyping Available.

Where Swiss Precision Is Non-Negotiable

  • Medical Equipment | Patient Safety Depends on It

    Brake pins, locking shafts, and actuator components for patient lifts and hospital beds. If it fails, someone gets hurt. We don’t let that happen.

  • Hydraulics | Zero-Leak Tolerances

    Spools, valve stems, and pilot pins machined to the tightest diameters in the industry. One out-of-tolerance part means a field leak. Ours don’t leak.

  • Automation | Copy-Paste Repeatability

    Your assembly line doesn’t tolerate variance. Neither do we. High-volume Swiss runs with statistical process control built in.

  • Fiber Optic Components Manufacturing | Micron-Level Accuracy

     

    Components for fiber draw towers and coating systems where even a few microns of runout affect signal quality in the fiber being produced. We machine these parts to print, in the exotic alloys required, with full dimensional documentation.
