With 15 years of Swiss CNC machining experience. AT-Machining can deliver your custom swiss parts to build your brand and grow your profits.
Save 40% cost on average!
The secret to the Swiss lathe's success lies in its unique sliding headstock and guide bushing system. Unlike conventional lathes, the Swiss machine supports the material right at the point of cutting.
By keeping the overhang length L nearly at zero, Swiss machining eliminates vibration and deflection:
Minimizing L ensures maximum rigidity.
We maintain a vast inventory of raw materials and alloys to ensure fast lead times for demanding applications across aerospace, medical, and industrial sectors.
Our Swiss machining services are tailored to meet the rigorous quality and traceability standards of the world’s most critical sectors.
We produce surgical instruments, bone screws, dental implants, and endoscopic components. Our process ensures biocompatible finishes.
From micro-connectors to sensor housings and fuel system components. We handle Titanium and Inconel with ease.
High-volume production for sensor housings, fuel injectors, and splined shafts. We support PPAP and FMEA requirements.
Manufacturing microfluidic chips, heat sinks, and high-frequency connectors with complex internal geometries.
We machine rapid prototypes and low & large-volume production orders for customers in multiple industries: medical devices, aerospace, automotive, defense, electronics, hardware startups, industrial automation, machinery, marine and robotics, and many more.
Choosing an offshore partner shouldn't mean compromising on quality. We bridge the gap between cost-efficiency and American-standard precision.
Our quality management system ensures every part meets your print specifications.
We utilize CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machines), Keyence laser measurement systems, and QM-Height gauges for 100% dimensional validation.
Our engineers provide "Design for Manufacturability" feedback on every quote to help you reduce cycle times and material waste.
Our automated bar-feeding systems allow for continuous production, reducing labor costs and passing those savings (up to 40%) to you.

Critical recommendations for engineers to optimize precision, performance, and cost.
Take advantage of the guide bushing support. In Swiss machining, you can design parts with length-to-diameter ratios of 20:1 or higher without worrying about material deflection.
To maintain ±0.0002" tolerances, use centerless ground stock (h6 or h7). Consistent bar diameter ensures a perfect fit with the guide bushing, eliminating vibration.
Balance the workload between the main and sub-spindles. When back-end and front-end operations take equal time, you significantly reduce cycle times and overall part cost.
Avoid sharp internal corners. Specify radii at least 10-15% larger than standard tools to prevent tool breakage and ensure a superior surface finish in deep pockets.
