Swissturn/USA
– a different kind of Swiss screw machine job shop
What
makes Swissturn different from most CNC Swiss screw machine job shops?
It's probably our commitment to change. We're constantly investing in
new equipment, rearranging our shop floor, changing our procedures,
training our employees, even refining processes for jobs that we've
run for 20 years.
Precision small
component machining on our CNC Swiss screw machines
In 1998 we began a process of upgrading our CNC Swiss screw machine department.
Since then we've replaced all of our older CNC Swiss screw machines with
new Star machines. Every machine has secondary capabilities (slotting,
cross-drilling, cross-tapping, back drilling, etc.), eliminating the need
to do further machining once any small parts come off of the Swiss. More
important, though, is the use of automatic bar loaders. This gives us
the capability to operate "lights out." When our employees go
home at 5 o'clock, the machines keep running all night and often all weekend.
ISO9001:2000
Registered
In November of 2003, Swissturn completed its transition to the ISO9001:2000
standard. We have been ISO registered since 1998.
Lean component machining
Most of our employees have been trained in lean manufacturing concepts.
Our shop floor is constantly being reorganized, streamlined, cleaned,
painted, and improved. We've taken a crowded, cluttered, oil-soaked machine
shop and turned it into a pleasant efficient work environment. Visitors
often compliment us on the cleanliness and organization of our shop. Lean
is a never-ending process.
Small parts
contract machining from a job shop dedicated to change
Our commitment to change means that we'll respond to your concerns.
It's impossible to be perfect in a CNC Swiss screw machine job shop.
New jobs create unforeseen problems. What Swissturn does guarantee,
though, is that we'll respond to issues and learn from them. If we can't
solve a problem, we'll let you know so that we can work together to
come up with a solution.
