Swiss machining

A sliding headstock and precision guide bushing allow bar stock to advance with exceptional stability while stationary or rotating tools perform simultaneous operations. This configuration eliminates deflection, maintains geometric integrity, and enables the production of ultra-small, intricate components with sub-micron accuracy. Driven by CAD/CAM data and synchronized through multi-axis control systems, the process supports milling, drilling, and tapping within a single continuous cycle. With capabilities extending up to 12 axes and integrated live tooling, it ensures both complexity and efficiency in part production.

Why Swiss Machining Services

Industries requiring tight tolerances, micro-dimensions, and repeatable performance rely on Swiss machining. At Kinetix Fabworks, precise bar feeding, synchronized spindle control, and adaptive toolpath strategies ensure consistent concentricity, surface finish, and structural integrity. This process produces micro-parts ready for assembly without secondary finishing, reducing material waste and improving manufacturing efficiency.

Swiss Machining

Swiss-style machining, also known as sliding-headstock machining, delivers ultra-precise components with high aspect ratios and minimal burr formation. The material is supported close to the cutting point, reducing deflection and vibration, while multi-axis tooling enables intricate external and internal features. Kinetix Fabworks applies this technology for micro-scale components used in medical devices, electronics, aerospace, and precision instrumentation.
