GC Machining Solutions is a leader in diverse machining methods, where we can achieve high-quality parts and components with ease. Regardless of the project’s tight tolerances and intricate geometries, our team of experienced machinists and engineers can work with you to accomplish results that are not only successful but also cost-effective. Swiss lathe machining is one of our primary capabilities, allowing us to quickly produce small and complicated pieces with short lead times.

Swiss machining or Swiss type lathe machining is a high-precision manufacturing process performed on an automatic turning machine that can achieve highly-detailed and small parts. Compared to conventional CNC machines, the workpiece can turn and move back and forth along the Z-axis while various tools cut away material to create the desired features and finishes. Swiss lathe machines operate with very small tolerances at shorter cycle times, making them an ideal option for fabricating small, complex parts at larger volumes.

GC Machining Solutions has a fully equipped Swiss lathe machine shop with high-performance 5 axis Swiss lathe machines. In addition, we work with 12-38mm lathes that enable us to machine complicated parts efficiently. These advanced machines have a sliding headstock that provides precise control over the cutting tool, making it possible to produce incredibly tight tolerances with little to no problem.

CNC Swiss lathe machining offers rapid turnaround time and outstanding precision, which is necessary in industries with stringent standards and regulations. These benefits make it stand out from traditional machining methods.

More benefits of Swiss machining include:

• High repeatability: Our Swiss lathe machine shop displays repeatability, which refers to the method’s ability to deliver consistent results, even in higher quantities. Therefore, it eliminates the risk of producing defective parts.
• Complex parts production: Our 5 axis Swiss lathe can effortlessly accomplish long, slender parts and intricate details due to its unique guide bushing system.
• Simultaneous operations: Most Swiss lathes come with multiple tool paths, which means turning, drilling, and milling can be done at the same time.
• Fewer or no secondary operations needed: Since Swiss machining can perform numerous procedures simultaneously, the parts come out near completion or as finished, reducing the need for secondary operations.

Our fully equipped Swiss lathe machine shop has cutting-edge 5 axis Swiss lathe machines for optimal accuracy and efficiency in producing small parts. With our experienced machinists and engineers, we can work with you to achieve high-performance solutions that won’t compromise your project.
