--- title: Complex Swiss Screw Machining | Ardel Engineering description: Discover high-precision Swiss screw machining for complex parts at Ardel Engineering. We provide tight-tolerance, small-diameter components. Contact us! --- Skip to Content However, at Ardel Engineering & Manufacturing, we use our Citizen Swiss Screw Machines to solve this problem. The live tooling and part index abilities of our [Swiss Screw Machines](https://www.ardelengineering.com/swiss-screw-machining) allow us to load a full bar of stock and produce burr free parts in one operation. This eliminates the need for material sawing, setting up multi vises or a 4th axis rotary indexer to handle the machining on multiple sides of the part. Using a Swiss Screw Machining also eliminates the possible process variability since none of the small, typically delicate, parts need to be hand loaded into multiple fixtures. This aspect also offers a cost savings opportunity since the hand loading process is being removed. Our Swiss Screw Machine can handle a maximum part size that fits into a 1 ¼” circle that is up to 4” long. As for a minimum, it is up to your design and Ardel’s engineering expertise and creativity to make the part manufacturable; we can hold the tightest tolerance at ±.0005". In addition, any material that can be found in a round bar format can be utilized for this process. This allows for many additional finishing and plating options, in many colors and protections. Ardel has produced large volumes of these small, complex parts for many industries and uses. If you need a high volume of small parts, look no further than Ardel Engineering & Manufacturing.

Ardel Engineering tailors our machining approach to the material we’re working with, and that starts with choosing the right milling machine. Whether we’re working with metals or plastics, we use both vertical and horizontal milling to bring out the best in every part.
