Suwa, Nagano, Japan 27/Jan/2006 - To expand its production
capacity and machining productivity, Ceriotec Corporation has
announced that it will invest another US$1 million in new CNC
swiss screw machines in 2006. The company has invested a total
of US$5 million in CNC Swiss screw machines over the 5 previous
years.
"We have gradually replaced our cam operated Swiss type screw
machines with the latest CNC Swiss style screw machines. Besides
allowing us to eliminate the need for cams and their added
costs, these latest CNC Swiss screw machines make us more
competitive as they increase efficiency by about 30% and allow
us to respond rapidly to short production runs and rush order
jobs," says Hiroaki Oguchi, President of Ceriotec Corporation.
Established in 1951, Ceriotec Corporation has been using swiss
screw machines or swiss automatics to supply Japanese
watch-making, IT electronics, consumer electronics,
telecommunications and automotive industries with miniature
complex profile turned parts from diameter 0.1mm for over 50
years.
Swiss screw machining is used to make small, slender, complex
and precision components. In the swiss screw machine, the bar
stock material is gripped tightly and advanced by the sliding
headstock through a guide bushing to the machining section. The
machining section consists of stationary tools which are applied
to the emerging bar stock. As only the part of the bar to be
machined is exposed from the guide bushing, there is minimum
deflection which allows the turning of small accurate precision
parts. If the part is longer and needs more grip support at the
front end, a sub spindle can be applied to grip it to reduce
deflection during cutting. Accurate and close toleranced parts
are possible with tight toleranced guide bushings and finely
ground bar stocks.
Says Mr Oguchi, "Originally designed by the Swiss to make
miniature watch parts, Swiss style screw machines have become
the machining solutions for many turned parts manufactured from
difficult to machine alloys and exotic metals. Swiss screw
machines excel in manufacturing a complex profile part in one
turning operation, thus eliminating secondary processes and
costs. We look forward to business enquiries through Suwa
Precision Engineering, our marketing office in Singapore."
