Industrial Steel Star Component Machined in One Setup
A manufacturer was in need of an industrial steel component. The part was geometrically complicated. It was designed with a 10-point star with cutaway flutes and a threaded center hole. It had very tight dimensional tolerances. Boyer specializes in machining metal and plastic parts with difficult geometric dimensions. In this case, the part required multi-axis […]
Dual-screw, A286 Stainless Steel Jet Engine Bolt
An aeronautics OEM was in need of A286 stainless steel dual-screw bolts for a jet engine application. The angle of the screws was skewed to fasten parts at differing orientations. The part had to withstand the rigors of extreme heat and tensile force. A286 stainless steel parts are used in heat and cold extremes. It […]
Tiny Aeronautics Component Produced with Multi-axis Swiss Machining
An aeronautics manufacturer was in need of a tiny stainless steel component. The part had an intricate design with a hexagon head and a tapered lip, a hole centered through the neck and a recessed base that needed to fit snugly with an adjoining part. This stainless steel part was perfect for Boyer’s Swiss machining […]
Tiny aerospace part combines stainless steel and laser-cut nylon components
An aerospace manufacturer was in need of very tiny nuts for an assembly. The nuts were specified to be built with 303 stainless steel. But the very tedious process also required the tooling of a nylon insert that would be placed precisely inside each nut. Boyer specializes in machining both complex metal and plastic parts. […]
About Swiss Machining
Swiss machining, also known as Swiss-style turning, is a specialized form of precision machining used for manufacturing small, complex, and high-precision parts. It utilizes a unique type of lathe called a Swiss-type lathe, which offers several advantages over conventional machining methods. The technique was developed in Switzerland in the late 19th century to produce precise […]
