Swiss Turning

CNC swiss machining technology is a very efficient, cost effective method of producing relatively small parts with many features. It is the machining technology for producing long, thin parts.

At PGI, we have machines in 20 mm, 25 mm and 32 mm sizes. All of our machines are equipped with pick-off spindles and back working capabilities. This allows us to make parts complete in one operation. Quality is improved with reductions in cost and lead time. We produce intricate parts from 1.260 inch diameter down to .050 inch diameter and sometimes smaller. We routinely drill holes down to .008 inch diameter and have produced parts with holes down to .006 inch diameter. Our machines can engrave and etch part numbers and other markings, broach hexes, and perform all kinds of side and end working operations such as drilling, milling, and tapping. Both on and off center.

We work on a large variety of materials such as plastics, brass and bronze, mild steels, alloy steels, stainless steels including 316 and 17-4 PH, and exotics such as Hastalloy, Inconel, and titanium. We even stock a variety of raw materials in order to reduce lead time.

Many companies require large production runs for their swiss equipment. Not PGI! We have produced prototype runs as small as one piece. Our experienced employees and careful scheduling help keep set-up time and associated costs to a minimum. We competitively produce parts with lot sizes of 100 to 1000 pieces. Actually, the majority of our production lots fall within this range. We utilize "family of parts" programming techniques when possible and careful production planning to create a competitive cost advantage for our customers. But don't forget about us for the larger runs. We also produce parts with lot sizes as high as 10,000 to 20,000.

We are no stranger to innovation. Our best example is machining a strap clamp out of rectangular stock. We were able to reduce costs and improve profitability of our customer. We used their idea, and we were able to develop the process.

Combine our innovation, engineering, and processing/production expertise with our grinding, material control, quality, and extensive vendor base to create a competitive advantage for your business. Why incur the extra time, cost, and risk of managing a part through multiple operations and services? Let us do that for you. By working with your personnel and handling the entire job, we can often produce your product at a reduced cost, improved quality, and reduced lead time.

Our skilled, experienced employees and attention to detail means you get a quality product every time. Every customer is important to us. We strive to make sure every order is given the attention it deserves.


At PGI we always strive to supply the best value possible to our customers!

Quality products, on time, as promised
