When OEM engineers need high-precision machining solutions for small, complex components, Swiss turning is often the first process that comes to mind. Swiss-type lathes hold bar stock in a guide bushing right at the cutting zone, which eliminates deflection and delivers concentricity and repeatability that conventional CNC lathes struggle to match on small-diameter parts.
VOLCRIX operates as a precision turning supplier specializing in Swiss-type CNC turning for connector pins, charging contacts, SMT hardware, shafts, and custom turned parts. With tolerances held to ±0.01 mm and surface finishes down to Ra 0.4 μm, we support everything from prototyping to high-volume production runs.
Why OEM Engineers Choose Swiss Turning
Swiss turning excels at parts with a high length-to-diameter ratio — anything over 3:1 — because the guide bushing supports the material continuously. That makes it the right process for medical components, electrical contacts, and precision shafts where straightness and roundness are critical.
- Tolerance: ±0.01 mm standard, ±0.005 mm achievable on select features
- Diameter range: 0.5 mm to 32 mm
- Surface finish: Ra 0.4 μm as-turned
- Materials: brass, stainless steel, aluminum, copper alloys, free-cutting steel
High-Volume Capability Without Sacrificing Precision
High-precision machining solutions are only useful if they scale. Our Swiss turning cell runs lights-out production with in-process gauging, and every lot is dimensionally inspected on Zeiss CMM equipment before shipment. Whether you need 500 pieces or 500,000, the quality system stays the same.
Design Support for Turned Parts
Send us your drawing and our engineers will review it for manufacturability — wall thickness, tolerances, thread forms, and plating requirements — before we quote. That DFM feedback is free, and it typically saves our customers weeks of back-and-forth during sourcing.
