How to utilize Swiss CNC Lathe to machine aerospace-grade fasteners

The aerospace manufacturing industry is extremely strict on the quality control of components, in which various types of fasteners (such as studs, locating pins, locking screws, etc.), although small in size, bear the core functions of bearing, connection, conduction and so on. In the face of high temperature, high pressure, vibration environment, these parts need to have very high strength, corrosion resistance and consistency. Against this backdrop of high standards, the Swiss CNC Lathe is becoming the ideal machine for machining aerospace-grade fasteners due to its high precision, high rigidity and complex machining capabilities.

Responding to the strong machining needs of special materials

Aerospace fasteners are widely used in Inconel, titanium alloys, 17-4PH stainless steel and other specialty alloys, which are very hard and difficult to machine, with rapid tool wear, posing a great challenge to the machine tool. Swiss CNC Lathe is equipped with a high rigidity spindle system, which, combined with high-pressure cooling and precise feed control, significantly extends the life of the tool and reduces the thermal deformation, thus ensuring the surface quality and improving the quality of the surface. The result is increased efficiency while ensuring surface quality.

Multi-axis synergy for complex contours in a single pass

Fasteners may be small, but they are not simple: steps, threads, bevels, cross slots, tapping, and other machining features are often concentrated in a single part. Conventional lathes often require multiple processes to complete, but Swiss CNC Lathe is equipped with front and rear spindles, C-axis and Y-axis power tooling systems, which allow turning, milling, drilling, tapping, knurling, and other processes to be completed in a single clamping.

High Repeatability for Aerospace Quality

Aerospace parts emphasize batch stability and process controllability. Swiss CNC machines are equipped with built-in tool life management and dimensional compensation, which automatically fine-tunes tools at the earliest stages of wear to avoid dimensional drift.

Automation and Flexibility

Aerospace fasteners are mostly standard parts, but they are subject to frequent changes in type and batch. Swiss CNC supports rapid program changeover and automatic tool changer systems, which are suitable for small batch production of multiple items.
