Swiss Turning
CNC Swiss
When you combine Swiss machining technology with CNC controls you have a Lathe that will hold some of the tightest tolerances around.
Equipped with live tooling, twin spindles, and multi-axis, General Engineering Works Star Swiss CNC machines allow us to drop parts complete; combined with automatic bar feeds we manufacture parts 24/7.
Swiss Lathes
The Swiss Bechler machines are designed for small diameter, close tolerance work. They are especially proficient at holding tolerance on longer parts, as long as 13". These cam-controlled machines can slot, thread roll, knurl, broach, and pick-off parts up to 10MM (.39) in diameter.
General Engineering Works Escomatics provide the perfect solution for longer running simplistic parts (pins). These machines accept diameters ranging from .020 to .150. Because they are wire-fed there is no bar-loading involved, we run them unattended and pass the savings on to you. (click on thumbnail to enlarge)
