High-precision medical, aerospace and microelectronics manufacturers rely on Swiss-type lathes to produce small, intricate parts with tight tolerances. However, the efficiency of these machines depends heavily on the tooling used. Air Turbine Technology’s miniature live tooling is revolutionizing the productivity of Swiss sliding headstock lathes by increasing spindle speed, dramatically reducing cycle times and enhancing surface finishes—all while extending tool life.

High-speed machining (HSM) is transforming modern manufacturing, enabling businesses to produce high-precision parts with unprecedented speed. With spindle speeds reaching up to 90,000 RPM, HSM is a crucial advancement for industries requiring both efficiency and accuracy, such as aerospace, electronics, medical device manufacturing and mold-making.

By combining unprecedented governed high speeds, precision, and operational flexibility, Air Turbine Spindles® 601 Series Spindle continues to redefine what’s possible in modern manufacturing, offering a new and compelling solution for businesses seeking to push the boundaries of machining performance.

In the world of high-performance machining, CNC collets are the unsung heroes that seamlessly connect precision with productivity. At Air Turbine Tools®, we understand that these small yet mighty components are pivotal to achieving exceptional results, especially when operating at our ultra-high speeds of 25,000 to 90,000 RPM with 2 micron TIR.
