CNC milling and CNC turning are two precision machining processes optimized for different product types and manufacturing applications. At Superior Machining & Fabrication, we utilize both CNC mills and CNC lathe centers (including Swiss turning machines) to provide our customers with the largest degree of freedom in design possible. For customers who may be new […]

Swiss lathes are specialized CNC machining systems that have become increasingly crucial in the modern machine shop. As we discussed in our previous blog, Swiss turning services offer a number of unique advantages over conventional CNC lathes. In this article, we take a deeper dive into the anatomy of Swiss-type lathes to see the unique […]

One of the biggest advantages of Swiss turning is the ability to produce a fully finished part in a single machining cycle. Essentially, single-cycle (or single-pass) CNC machining means that all of the required part features and tolerances are achieved with a single setup – one run of the machine and done. This speed and […]

Swiss turning is an advanced CNC machining process that is ideal for performing micromachining services. Compared to conventional CNC lathes, Swiss lathes are much more optimized for the manufacturing of small parts and miniature components with precision tolerances. This advantage is due to the unique workholder configuration of Swiss machines, which holds the workpiece more […]

CNC machining services are integral in today’s aerospace manufacturing industry, providing the high degree of precision and repeatability necessary to produce modern flight components. Swiss turning is especially optimized for the machining of aerospace parts, offering even better accuracy than conventional CNC lathes – especially in the case of small or miniature parts. Why Choose […]
