Benefits of Swiss Turning

Beyond the ability to produce custom parts, Swiss turning offers a variety of benefits to customers of LSM. Most notable are the precision and repeatability of this method, which is essential in applications requiring the use of small, intricate parts. Project completion time is also shorter using this technique as our Swiss turning equipment offers simultaneous operations, higher RPMs, and automation features that traditional machining tools lack.

Swiss Turning vs. 4 & 5-Axis Machining

To provide our customers with as many options as possible, LSM offers both Swiss turning and 4 & 5-axis machining. Both processes benefit from minimal setups and the ability to hold tight tolerances between features. Swiss turning, however, is ideal for parts up to 38mm in diameter that require a combination of turning and milling. Multi-axis machining is used for larger parts that also require complex machining and tight tolerances.
