We Are the Precision Machined Plastic Component Specialists Swiss Components are routinely used in many of the most sophisticated instrumentation and connector systems throughout the world - within the most demanding industries: The Machine Age was a great evolution for the machining process, resulting in what we now refer to as "traditional" machining processes in which machine tools are now used. Machining has now become any process that uses a cutting tool to remove small chips of material from the workpiece. These machine tools are mainly lathes, milling machines, drill presses, and a few others. They are now used in processes, such as turning, boring, drilling, milling, broaching, sawing, shaping, planing, reaming, and tapping. The use of these new machines allowed for greater accuracy, consistency, and faster production times. The main spindle is used in conjunction with the guide bushing for the primary machining operations. The secondary spindle, which is located behind the part, is aligned on the Z axis. In basic operation, it collects the part as it is cut off, and takes it for secondary operations, and then expels it into a bin, eradicating the need to have a human operator manually change each individual part, as is often the case with standard CNC turning centers. This makes the Swiss-type machines highly efficient, as they are capable of remarkably rapid cycle times, producing simple parts in a single cycle in as little as 10-15 seconds, which negates the need for a second machine to finish the part with second operations. This makes Swiss-style machines ideal for high quantity production runs of small-diameter parts. Get In Touch with Swiss Components, Inc.
