Precision CNC Swiss Machining Capabilities

Rable Machine’s CNC Swiss machining technology provides live drilling and milling capabilities, and offers one of the most cost-effective and accurate solutions for producing large quantities of very small, highly intricate parts. Our innovative CNC Swiss turning machinery moves parts along a Z-axis while the tools remain stationary (unlike conventional turning, in which the part remains stationary and the tools move). Work pieces are held firmly within the machine, and are advanced through various types of guide bushings to achieve tighter fits and tolerances. In fact, our highly advanced CNC Swiss machining can meet ultra-tight tolerances down to 0.0002".

As only one area of the part is machined at a time, our CNC Swiss screw machining operations greatly diminish deflection and vibration, which helps to further improve machining accuracy. Possessing fully automatic magazine bar-fed technology with part catching and indexing capabilities, our CNC Swiss turning machinery can handle stock lengths up to 12' and works with a wide range of materials up to 1.006" in diameter.

Our ability to provide customers with ultra-precision machined parts is what makes Rable Machine an industry leader, and our dedication to possessing the most advanced CNC Swiss machining technology is one way we stay ahead of our competition. Contact Rable Machine to learn more about our innovative CNC Swiss machining capabilities for the manufacturing of miniature, complex parts.

• Rable Machine's Swiss Cell houses eight Citizen and Emco Swiss machines. These machines are all equipped with sub-spindles, live tools and 12 foot capacity automatic bar feeders.
• Our Swiss machines can run parts with diameters up to 1.259" (32mm) and hold tolerances as tight as two microns.
• Typical parts we run on our Swiss machines include things like needle valves, pins, shafts, spacers, standoffs, terminals and electronic hardware.
