Swiss machining

Do you need large series of identical plastic parts that need to be produced cost-effectively and accurately? Swiss Machining is exactly what you are looking for. With our automated bar feed systems, we turn these series in a targeted manner, without the need for constant personnel at the machine. Curious about how Swiss Machining can reduce your production costs? Please contact us.

What is Swiss Machining?

Swiss Machining is basically the same as regular CNC turning, but designed for the efficient production of large series. The difference lies in the way we have organized this at ANKRO.

Our machines are equipped with bar feed systems that can handle bar lengths of up to 2 meters. You fill the feed once, set up the machine, and let it run. Without the need for constant supervision by personnel, the machine produces identical plastic parts for hours on end.

What is special about our approach? After the first machining operation, it is possible to transfer the product to a Z-axis of the main spindle. This means that the second machining operation can take place directly in the same machine. The product does not need to be removed manually or re-clamped.

Think, for example, of hollow shafts that need to be machined on both sides, or complex cylinders with different diameters. This integrated approach ensures that tolerances remain consistent; there are hardly any deviations.

What are the specific advantages of Swiss Machining?

Our technology allows us to produce your large series in a unique way:

  • Lower costs per unit: Setting up a machine once and letting it run for a long time means fewer labor hours per part produced. This translates directly into more competitive prices.
  • Consistent quality: Because every part is produced under exactly the same conditions, the quality of the first piece is identical to the last. No variation between batches.
  • Minimal clamping tolerances: Thanks to the z-axis system, parts do not need to be re-clamped for the second operation. This eliminates clamping errors and keeps tolerances tight.
  • Shorter lead times: Machines continue to run, allowing us to complete your project quickly (and with detailed precision) according to schedule.
  • Optimal use of material: Through smart bar length allocation, we minimize material waste, which contributes to savings and sustainability.

The relevance of Swiss Machining: why and for whom?

Swiss Machining is particularly interesting for companies that have recurring orders for larger quantities. Think of machine builders who need shafts and cylinders for hydraulic systems, or companies where consistent quality and competitive prices are crucial. We help various customers with this on a daily basis, particularly in the food and maritime industries.

Companies in the medical industry also use our services for parts that need to be produced in large volumes with strict tolerances. The food industry regularly needs cylinders and shafts for processing machines, where hygiene requirements must go hand in hand with the need for large quantities of parts.

At ANKRO, we understand that every sector has its own challenges and tailor our approach accordingly.
