Swiss Turning

A superb method for creating precision parts. It has the capability to machine longer, slender, and more complex parts with incredible accuracy, efficiency, and throughput.

We have decades of experience meeting the stringent regulations and certifications for the automotive, aerospace, and medical device industries, which serve as benchmarks for all of the products we manufacture.

Custom-made unique component

Swiss turning is designed for miniature parts and excels in producing long slender parts. This technology allows us to perform milling, turning, threading, cross-drilling, engraving, and other machining techniques using a single machine. All-in-one machining operations like this allow us to eliminate costly secondary processes, saving time and money while ensuring the part is produced to the exact specifications.

Parts produced by this type of machining are commonly found in aerospace, electronics, energy and fuel systems, and medical industries. Such as shafts, contact pins, housings, inserts, sockets, implants, and similar products.

Boly manufactures parts for a broad array of industries – from highly regulated industries that rely on Boly for consistent, exacting parts to those that require distinct, stand-out product identification.

Fitted for your design and purpose

From small runs of a few hundred pieces up to hundreds of thousands, Swiss Turning allows us to manufacture complex components on one machine. This allows us to meet the designer’s unique specifications of even the most demanding applications.

KnowledgeAdvantage of Swiss Turning process

Compared to other machining and manufacturing processes, Swiss turning offers a number of benefits.

Extremely tight tolerances

Swiss machines firmly support the workpiece right next to the point of operation throughout the machining process. Because the piece is supported so close to the tooling operation, the part remains steady, virtually unaffected by the force of the tools. This ensures precision within extremely tight tolerances—even when machining very small parts.

More Complex Parts

Because of how well the bar stock is supported throughout the machining process, Swiss machines can also produce more intricate parts with thinner walls, more delicate features, and deeper cuts that would not be possible on other machines.

Fast Pace

A Swiss center performs multiple operations in a single setup, which drastically reduces cycle times and increases production volume. Also, since Swiss centers can operate lights-out, we are able to produce components near-continuously, further reducing lead time.

Ready-to-Ship Parts

Swiss machines produce such a fine and precise result that these machines can reduce or eliminate the need for secondary operations, often resulting in parts that are ready to ship right out of the machine.
