Swiss Escomatic
The World’s Fastest Machines for Small Diameter Parts
Esco SA is another premiere manufacturer from Switzerland whose machines were originally designed to address the needs of their country’s watchmakers. Modern day Escomatic machines are high-performance and high-tech. They provide a reliable answer to an array of industries requiring increasingly small, complex parts.
Since their inception, Escomatic lathes have undergone impressive advancements. Today they are known as, “The World’s Fastest Machines for Small Diameter Parts”. Like Swiss-style CNC turning machines, Escomatics deliver exemplary quality, precision and accuracy. However, they have their own distinguishing features and benefits.
Unique Features
- Cutting tools rotate around the material, rather than the material rotating.
- Coil fed machinery.
- High speed manufacturing.
- Able to perform additional operations such as: broaching, crimping, cross-drilling, milling, slotting, tapping, threading and turning.
- Produces parts ranging from 0.3mm to 8mm in diameter.
Benefits
- Since the material does not rotate, the machining process is extremely efficient.
- Parts can be manufactured in one continuous operation, which contributes to their production speed while eliminating the need for multiple material changes and offset operations. This helps reduce costs and improve quality.
- Tight tolerances are consistently held during production.
- Surface finishes are exemplary, with a 32 micro finish being typical. A surface finish less than that is attainable based on customer needs.
- Parts are manufactured without a cut-off tip, reducing the need for secondary operations.
- Excellent for running high volume parts at high speeds. Daily part production on a single machine can range from the thousands to tens of thousands.
- Capable of creating simple to complex designs. Ideal for custom pins, shafts and connectors.
- Easily handles a wide variety of materials including: copper, bronze, brass, stainless steel and fiber optic plastics. (See our Materials List for a complete listing).
- Machining from coil stock reduces material waste while increasing productivity.
- Cost effective manufacturing is achieved, which helps keep customer pricing reasonable.
