spindle speeds and even the condition of micro-tools. e two companies have even worked together to develop a system that actually measures a part "in process," or while the tool is still within the cut. By leveraging the expertise of these various partners, Tsugami/Rem Sales delivers better outcomes for its customers, since each company's philosophy and objec- tives are clear from the start. Design Implications In summing up how Swiss-type machining advances have benefited precision machine shops, Mr. Noake makes a powerful observation: Many of the parts now routinely being run across a Swiss lathe, he says, simply couldn't be made any other way. While secondary processes such as wire and sinker EDM might be able to make the cuts, given time, laser Swiss machining is faster, more precise and more econom- ical. It's part of the drive toward multitasking that has been a Swiss-type machine hallmark for more than a century. And even beyond the process improvements, there are design implications that are leading to new ways of thinking about how a part can be made; in much the same way that additive manufacturing has freed design engineers from considering subtractive manufacturing as For a related article on this topic, visit : Turbocharge Swiss-Type Turning with Accessories Adding accessories to the already capable Swiss-type turning center is a cost effective method of increasing production efficiency.
