Creativity Meets Best-in-Class Technology
Combining attributes of Swiss Screw Machining and Centerless Grinding,
Swiss-Type Centerless Grinding has become a viable solution for
manufacturing problems presented by small, complex parts, guidewires and difficult to machine materials. This revolutionary
technology is enabling production breakthroughs on many challenging
medical manufacturing applications.
Swiss-Type Centerless Success
Aerospace – tiny test pins
Injection Molding – long, thin cores
Medical – angioplasty wires, torsion wires, trocars
