Swiss turning at Reader Precision isn’t just about the machining; equipped with versatile attachments, these machines allow for drilling, milling, boring, tapping, thread-whirling, knurling, and other operations. This versatility means that we can manufacture complex parts with minimal secondary operations, saving time and ensuring higher quality.

The benefits of Swiss cam turning are numerous, making it a preferred method for precision machining:

• Extremely Tight Tolerances: Achieve precision meeting tolerances as tight as +/-0.0002”
• Complex Part Capability: Handle intricate designs with ease.
• Shorter Run Times: Increase efficiency without compromising quality.
• Consistency in Part Results: Ensure uniformity across large production runs.
• Large Volume Production: Ideal high quantity runs of precision parts.

We believe that exceptional results start with exceptional materials. Our commitment to using high-grade metals ensures that every component we manufacture meets the highest standards of quality and durability. Below are some of the commonly used materials in our production processes, meticulously selected for their performance in various applications.

Our machines feature a sliding headstock feed and guide bushing system, allowing for simultaneous movement of the tooling and headstock. This unique configuration ensures that machining occurs very close to the guide bushing, providing the stability needed to maintain tight tolerances and achieve fine surface finishes, even on long, cylindrical parts.

As technology advances and products become more miniaturized, the demand for small, thin, and tight-tolerance components has surged. Our continual investment in cutting-edge technology ensures that we remain at the forefront of the industry, providing you with the highest quality components that meet the most stringent requirements.

Originally developed for producing screws in the late 1800’s in Switzerland – where accuracy and speed were paramount – Swiss screw machining, also known as screw turning, is a specialized precision machining process used to manufacture small, complex, and often cylindrical components with exceptional precision and consistency. This technique has evolved to create a wide range of intricate, turned parts that are essential to some of the world’s most demanding industries.

Over the years, this technology has evolved into a critical aspect of modern precision machining, capable of producing components with exceptionally tight tolerances and fine surface finishes. This is particularly beneficial for industries that demand high-precision parts with high length-to-diameter ratios.
