Enhanced Quality Assurance
Laser-etched UDI codes for FDA-compliant medical parts.
CMMs (0.0001" repeatability) for micro-component validation.
ASTM F2129 testing to ensure corrosion resistance in implants.
"Falcon CNC Swiss produced 80,000 aluminum LiDAR sensor housings for our autonomous vehicle project. Their AI-driven toolpath optimization reduced machining time by 25%, and the anodized finish passed salt spray testing for 1,000+ hours. Seamless PPAP documentation saved us 3 weeks in OEM approvals."

Swiss Machining FAQ
Q1: What materials can be machined using Swiss screw machining?
A: We specialize in medical-grade metals like titanium Grade 5/23 and 316L stainless steel, as well as engineering plastics such as PEEK and Ultem®. These materials are ideal for implants, micro-connectors, and FDA-compliant devices.
Q2: What tolerances can your Swiss machines achieve?
A: Our 7-axis Swiss lathes consistently deliver ±0.0002" tolerances, even for parts as small as 0.5mm diameter (e.g., hypodermic needle guides).
Q3: Do you offer cleanroom packaging for medical components?
A: Yes. Medical parts are machined in ISO Class 8 cleanrooms and vacuum-sealed with anti-static packaging to meet FDA and ISO 13485 requirements.
Q4: Can Swiss machining handle internal features like micro-threads?
A: Absolutely. Our live tooling and subspindle integration allow us to machine M0.6 threads and internal slots as narrow as 0.1mm without secondary operations.
Q5: How do you ensure material integrity for implants?
A: We perform XRF spectroscopy to verify alloy composition and ASTM F2129 testing to validate corrosion resistance for implantable devices.
