Swiss Turning at HPM

Overview

Swiss turning holds the bar close to the cutting tool through a guide bushing, so the unsupported length stays short no matter how long the part is. That is what keeps deflection and chatter down on small diameter shafts, pins, connectors and nozzle bodies. At HPM the Swiss turning cell runs CITIZEN machines and the parts are made to whatever the drawing specifies.

Key Benefits

Long Slender Parts Without Deflection

The guide bushing supports the bar right at the cut, so length to diameter ratios that would chatter on a conventional lathe stay stable.

Turning And Secondary Features In One Setup

Cross drilling, slotting and back working happen while the part is still in the machine, which removes the re-fixturing that normally introduces error.

Made To Your Drawing

We do not sell a catalogue part. You send the drawing and we machine the material grade, the dimensions and the treatment it specifies.

Who It Is For

  • Buyers of small diameter shafts, pins and spindles
  • Connector and nozzle manufacturers
  • Companies moving a part from a conventional lathe because it will not hold tolerance
  • Engineers who need turning and cross features without a second operation

Problems It Solves

  • Long thin parts that deflect and chatter on a conventional lathe.
  • Tolerance lost every time a part is re-clamped for a secondary operation.
  • Suppliers who quote from a catalogue instead of from your drawing.

Applications

  • Small diameter shafts and pins
  • Connector bodies
  • Nozzle bodies
  • Precision sleeves and bushings

  3. 3

    We review the drawing against our equipment and come back with the price and the lead time.

  4. 4

    On approval we machine a first article and check it on material, dimension and treatment before the run starts.

  5. 5

    The run is produced, inspected in the measuring room and shipped, with treatment handled inside the same order.

Swiss Turning FAQ

Do You Quote Swiss Turning From A Drawing

Yes. Send the drawing with the quantity and any treatment requirement and we come back with the price and the lead time. We do not machine to a standard house specification.

Can This Be Combined With Other Operations

Yes. HPM offers turn-key services, so this operation can be combined with turning, milling, wire cut, grinding, plating, anodizing, painting, hardening, carburization and nitriding inside one order.

What Is Checked Before The Parts Ship

Three things, all against your drawing: the material grade and chemical composition, every dimension against its tolerance, and the treatment against its standard.

Is The Factory Certified

HPM is an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system certified factory.
