Why Swiss Screw Machines?
With ten(10)Swiss screw machines
running 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, Erickson Automatics
has the available machine capacity to supply your need for
custom swiss screw machine parts.
All of our machines are equipped with
automatic bar loading equipment to facilitate their
continuous operation.
Our experienced people are
knowledgeable and skilled in utilizing the best methods for
producing quality parts quickly.
The flexibility of the tooling and the
1.33 HP of the live tool motor on our L20 Vlll machines,
allows us to make even more complicated swiss screw machined
parts and to do even heavier machining. The larger and
heavier axis (7 axis) slides combined with the improved live
tool clamping system has increased the machine's total
rigidity.
Complex, multi-operation Swiss screw
machined parts in one operation with tolerances as tight as +
or - .0002. are made simple by the 44 tools (Live Tooling)
and back spindle 1 degree indexing, C Axis of our Swiss screw
machines. Including Threading, Milling, Contouring, Slotting,
and Cross Work. Cross work includes Reaming, Off Center
Drilling, Drilling and Tapping. End work includes Boring,
Drilling, Milling, Tapping, and Reaming.
The newly added M32 Citizen swiss
machine also offer rigid tapping functions (main spindle,
back spindle and tool spindle), hobbing, polygon and thread
milling.
Our swiss screw machining abilities
have also been increased with the addition of Whirling
Attachments. We are able to produce parts with high helix
buttress thread forming as well as those with large root
diameter and head diameter differences and long length to
diameter ratios. Thread sizes from 3MM to 12MM (.118 in. to
.50 in.). Bone screws and other complex threaded dental and
medical implants are examples.
The machining abilities of the L20
machines can handle most any application with ease.
