Micro-Turning Capabilities

Our micro-turning capabilities represent the cutting edge of small-diameter precision manufacturing, enabling production of components that were once considered impossible to machine at scale.

Micro-feature precision:

1. Minimum structural feature size: 0.005mm for ultra-fine details

2. Smallest part dimensions: 0.08×0.08mm for micro-components

3. Minimum micro-diameter rod: φ0.01mm for ultra-thin shaft applications

4. Smallest micro-hole diameter: 0.003mm for precision fluidic components

5. Highest part precision: 0.001mm dimensional accuracy

Small diameter turning range:

We specialize in turning components with diameters ranging from φ0.1mm up to φ32mm on our Swiss-type machines, with extended capability up to φ380mm on our high-precision CNC lathes. This range covers everything from micro-medical components to small precision industrial parts.

Thread and groove precision:

For small-diameter components, we produce micro threads with pitch as fine as 0.05mm and precision thread grade 2-4, along with grooves as narrow as 0.05mm wide with depth tolerances of ±0.001mm — all achievable without compromising surface quality or structural integrity.

Swiss-Type Precision Advantage

Our SwissNano 7-axis ultra-precision lathes represent the gold standard for small diameter precision turning, delivering unmatched accuracy and surface quality for micro-components.

Machine configuration:

● 7-axis simultaneous machining for complex geometries in a single setup

● Main spindle speed range: 10,000 to 50,000 rpm for ultra-fine finishes

● Sub-spindle speed range: 10,000 to 40,000 rpm for back-working operations

● Siemens 840D sl CNC system for advanced motion control

Structural innovations:

● Swiss-type guide bushing structure provides exceptional rigidity for small-diameter workpieces

● High-precision linear guide rails ensure smooth, accurate axis movement

● Thermal error compensation system maintains accuracy across temperature variations

● Diamond tool management with tip radius 0.01-0.1mm and wear compensation ±0.0001mm

This combination of advanced hardware and intelligent control systems allows us to consistently produce small-diameter components with precision levels that conventional CNC lathes simply cannot achieve.

Quality Verification Process

Every small diameter precision component undergoes comprehensive quality verification using our extensive inspection equipment portfolio of over 320 units and pieces.

Inspection equipment arsenal:

1. Automatic coordinate measuring machines (CMM) for 3D dimensional verification

2. Image analyzers for non-contact measurement of micro-features

3. Tool microscopes and high-power microscopes for surface and feature inspection

4. Stereoscopic microscopes for detailed structural examination

5. Projectors for profile verification of small components

6. Height gauges, roughness meters, and micrometers for precision measurement

Process control methodology:

We implement SPC (Statistical Process Control) with CPK ≥ 2.0 for critical dimensions, ensuring that our production processes remain in statistical control and capable of meeting tight specifications consistently. Our 16 quality personnel — including QE, IQC, IPQC, and OQC specialists — oversee every stage from incoming material inspection to final outgoing quality verification.

100% key dimension inspection:

Critical dimensions on every small diameter component are inspected 100% using CMM, roundness meters, and roughness testers, providing complete traceability and assurance that every part meets your specifications.
