Our primary department is a completely self-contained and self-sufficient area enabling us to efficiently produce the components required by our customers.
We engineer all of our manufacturing methods, cams, and cutting tools. Here we also design, shape, cut and assemble all of the carbide tipped custom tools for each of our Swiss Automatics. This enables the proper inventory of standard sizes of cutting tools which minimizes the down time, and maximizes the production.
Each component is analyzed for the most productive and economical method of process – from which a “layout’ is prepared. These engineering documents are then transcribed by our staff, and all cams are then precisely cut to ensure the constant and repeated size and tolerance requirements of each drawing – all in minimum time.
The ability to design and fabricate all cams internally enables the flexibility required in delivery, and leads to far more economical components.
On all items requiring an I.D., Carbide is preferred over standard sized steel drills. Again this cutting ability is designed and made internally; in sizes from the extreme miniature to our maximum capacity. These carbide tools do produce superior finishes, as well as closer tolerances, on all types of materials.
Briefly, our capacity is as follows:
ENGINEERING:
Layouts – tool sheets – cutting tool sketches and all calculations are completed by our staff of experienced engineers who ensure that all data is documented, and properly stored for repeated quality – order to order.
CAMS:
All are designed and fabricated in house, and heat treated for maximum durability; if quantity so warrants. Each set is meticulously processed to our engineering layouts so as to produce repeated and con-current diameters, lengths and finishes.
MACHINERY:
Our manufacturing capacity is currently ranging in size from M-4 and M-7 to R-10 and R-125. Our Swiss Machines manufacture customers requirements to the most exacting tolerances and finishes.
MACHINE MAINTENANCE:
Each machine is “tuned up” so as to prevent down time, and also to ensure continually consistent sizes and finishes. Tolerances held to +/- .0001.
PRECISION ITEMS:
With .012 thru .437 O.D. thru 2.500 Lengths
MATERIALS PROCESSED:
- Berryllium Copper
- Brass
- Bronze
- Aluminum
- Nickel Silvers
- Carbon Steels
- Stainless Steels
- Drill Rod
- Phenolic
- And many others as required by our customers' needs
Since we utilize a Job Number System, all of the above engineering and tooling is cross referenced. All manufacturing data is filed for accessibility. This results in current manufacturing data, uniformity of price, instant inventory results, as well as accurate delivery schedules.
