And at Colburn Manufacturing, We Do Swiss Right.
Swiss machining, also known as Swiss screw machining or Swiss turning, is a precision machining process that has significantly evolved in the electrical and semiconductor industries. Swiss machines are designed to produce small, high-precision components, making them ideal for applications in the electrical industry.
Miniaturization: As electronic devices have become smaller and more portable, the need for smaller, high-precision components has increased. Swiss machining has evolved to meet these demands by producing tiny, intricate components, such as connectors, pins, and small gears, used in semiconductors and other electronic devices.
High Precision and Accuracy: The electrical and semiconductor industries require tight tolerances and high-quality components. Swiss machines have evolved to deliver these requirements with their advanced CNC controls, multiple axes of motion, and advanced tooling systems. This has resulted in higher precision and accuracy when manufacturing complex geometries in electrical components.
Complex Component Capabilities: Swiss machining has evolved to produce more complex components, such as micro-machined parts for semiconductors. This is made possible through CNC programming advancements and Swiss machines’ multi-axis capabilities, allowing for complex operations like milling, drilling, and turning within a single setup.
Fast Production Time: As demand for electronic devices and semiconductors has grown, Swiss machining at Colburn Manufacturing has developed methods for speedier production times to maintain a competitive edge in the industry. Swiss machines have increased efficiency and productivity by combining multiple operations in a single setup.
Advanced Materials: Swiss machining has adapted to the advancement of material technology in the electrical industry. It can now work with a wide range of materials, including conductive materials like copper and brass and innovative materials like engineered plastics used in electronic devices.
