Our CNC turning centers integrate multi-axis (3+2 and 5-axis) and Swiss screw machining for intricate rotational parts.
Features include:
Multi-turret systems: 15+ tools for simultaneous OD/ID machining.
Live tooling: Mill, drill, and thread in a single setup, reducing cycle times by 25%.
Swiss turning: Achieve ±0.0002" tolerances on micro-components like titanium spinal screws (ISO 13485-compliant)211.
At Falcon CNC Swiss, we engineer machining parameters to align with the unique properties of each material, ensuring precision and longevity for critical components. Below are key materials and their optimized processes:
Titanium Grade 5
Applications: Dental implants, surgical tool shafts.
Process: Cryogenic machining (-50°C) to minimize galling in threaded sections.
Inconel 718
Applications: High-temperature fittings, chemical processing components.
Process: Adaptive toolpaths with ceramic inserts and high-pressure coolant (1,000 psi) to reduce thermal stress.
Case Study: Machined 10,000 Inconel 718 bushings for industrial pumps, extending service life by 40% compared to traditional methods.
PEEK & Delrin®
Applications: Medical device housings, food-grade connectors.
Process: Low-RPM drilling (800 RPM) to prevent melting and ensure Ra 0.8µm finishes.
Case Study: Delivered 20,000 PEEK insulators for MRI machines, meeting FDA and ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards.
Stainless Steel (17-4PH & 316L)
Applications: Hydraulic valve stems, automotive sensor housings.
Process: High-speed turning (1,200 RPM) with cryogenic cooling to mitigate work hardening.
Case Study: Produced 50,000 stainless steel valve stems for oil & gas equipment, achieving ±0.005mm tolerances via real-time tool wear monitoring.
After CNC turning, our EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) and Wire EDM services refine parts with complex geometries or ultra-hard materials:
Wire EDM for Intricate Features
Applications: Slots, threads, and micro-holes in tungsten carbide or hardened steels.
Process: Achieves ±0.002mm tolerances using brass wire and deionized water.
Case Study: Cut 5,000 tungsten carbide bushings with 0.1mm slots for semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
Sinker EDM for Internal Geometries
Applications: Internal splines, non-circular holes in hardened 4140 steel.
Process: Uses graphite electrodes to machine shapes without heat distortion.
Case Study: Produced 2,500 hardened steel gears with helical splines for robotics actuators, reducing post-processing costs by 30%.
Hybrid Workflows
Step 1: Rough-turn titanium or Inconel parts to near-net shape.
Step 2: Apply Wire EDM to finalize internal coolant channels or threads.
Result: Combines speed (turning) and precision (EDM) for high-performance components.
"Falcon’s team delivered 15,000 titanium spinal screw prototypes with integrated Wire EDM threads. Their ISO 13485 compliance and full material traceability accelerated our FDA approval by 4 weeks."

CNC Turning Services FAQ
Q1: What industries do your CNC turning services support?
A: We focus on automotive (fuel injectors, sensor housings), industrial (hydraulic valves, pump shafts), and medical (surgical tool handles) sectors.
Q2: What is the maximum diameter and length you can turn?
A: Our CNC turning centers handle parts up to 6" diameter and 24" length, with bar feeder support for high-volume orders.
Q3: Can you machine hardened materials like Inconel?
A: Yes. We use ceramic inserts and high-pressure coolant (1,000 psi) to turn Inconel 718, 17-4PH stainless steel, and other heat-resistant alloys.
Q4: Do you provide surface finishing options?
A: In-house finishes include electropolishing (Ra 0.4µm), anodizing (Type II/III), and passivation for corrosion resistance.
Q5: How do you maintain consistency in high-volume runs?
A: Automated SPC (Statistical Process Control) monitors tool wear and dimensional accuracy, ensuring ±0.005mm tolerances across batches of 250,000+ units.
