Despite the name, Swiss screw machines aren’t designed specifically to machine screws or perform threading operations – nor are they all made in Switzerland. Though Swiss lathes can accommodate precision threading operations, the common name comes from the machine’s origin with Swiss watchmakers, who originally developed the technology to produce small watch screws and miniature […]

Today’s aerospace manufacturers often require high-precision, highly specialized hardware and fasteners. Unfortunately, off-the-shelf hardware simply falls short in many cases when it comes to accommodating complex aerospace design requirements, while also meeting the most rigorous standards in safety and performance. That’s why the aerospace industry increasingly turns to custom machined fasteners which are engineered and […]

Whether through milling or turning, producing exceptionally large parts poses some unique challenges to the CNC machining process. Of course, the first major hurdle is finding machines with large enough chucks/tables to fit your workpieces – many conventional mills and lathes will simply lack the needed size capacity. As part dimensions increase, typical machine weight […]

As any manufacturer who specializes in machining small parts will tell you, accurately CNC milling miniature components comes with some unique challenges. Of course, all the usual prerequisites apply: you have to choose the right material, refine the part design and the CAM programming, choose the optimum cutting tools, rigorously check and recheck for quality […]

No modern CNC machine shop is complete without the integration of high-precision CNC grinding capabilities. While our CNC mills and CNC turning departments handle most of the heavy lifting in the manufacturing process, CNC grinding is often required as a secondary or post-production process. Essentially, our CNC grinding services enable us to achieve even higher […]

Modern operations in the oilfield, gas extraction, processing, and hydraulic fracking often involve working with dangerous compounds and extreme conditions. Potentially hazardous chemicals, high pressures, and heavy equipment are all the norm. That’s why custom machined components for today’s oil and gas equipment demand the strictest of standards in both safety and quality. At Superior […]
