Our machining capabilities now include Swiss CNC machining.
Our new Swiss Tsugami B0326-II CNC machine offers production flexibility, a reduction in material costs and the ability to quickly changeover tooling in order to reduce machine time.

Welding

Welding

Modern Industries Precision Machining & Assembly Division can prepare fabrications & assemblies of several types, sizes and configurations that combine parts we machine with other customer-provided parts such as stampings or forgings.

Grinding

Grinding

Modern’s Precision Machining & Assembly Division operates CNC grinders, Double Disk Grinders, Centerless Grinders, Blanchard Grinders, and numerous other grinders. We can accomplish many grinding processes required to part finishing. If we don’t have the particular grinding process you need, just tell us and we will consider adding this process.

Materials

Modern Industries possesses extensive experience machining the following materials:
ALUMINUM, STEEL, STAINLESS STEEL, CASTINGS & FORGINGS

Assembly and Contract Manufacturing

Modern Industries Precision Machining & Assembly Division has prepared fabrications and assemblies for customers across a broad range of industries. Using our capabilities to prepare finished assemblies provides our customers with the ability to instantly expand production output without the need to hire or invest in added facilities.

Production Planning and Inventory Control

Modern Industries has had an ERP System for many years and it was last updated in 2012. We use the Vantage ERP/MRP System, which is considered the best system to integrate with customer’s supply chain and inventory management.

Swiss Tsugami B0326-II CNC MachineSwiss CNC machining is a specific manufacturing technique that can turn metal stock into delicate, slender, and complex components that meet tight tolerance requirements. During this process, a Swiss-engineered CNC-operated lathe radially turns the metal stock while it is being cut into its final form. The process is not only cost-efficient, but it also allows for excellent precision when compared to similar manufacturing methods.

Swiss CNC Machining Applications

Various industries and applications require extremely precise, small components manufactured within near-perfect tolerances. Through the use of state-of-the-art equipment, Swiss CNC machining is the ideal manufacturing method for producing intricate parts ranging from medical tools and spinal implants to miniature aerospace components and more.

 Swiss machining is notably popular in these industries:

  • Aerospace 
  • Agriculture
  • Automotive
  • Consumer electronics
  • Construction
  • Military and government
  • Power distribution and power equipment
  • Hydraulics
  • Lawn and garden
  • Oil & gas
  • Robotics
  • Musical instruments
  • Medical equipment and devices

Benefits of Swiss CNC Machining

CNC Swiss machining has significantly grown in popularity due to its ability to rapidly produce very small, precise parts in high production volumes. Some of the most important benefits of Swiss CNC machining include:

  • Extremely tight tolerances. Swiss machines securely keep the workpiece directly next to the point of operation during the entire duration of the machining process. This firm placement close to the tooling operation allows the workpiece to be practically unaffected by the force of the tools. This ensures a high level of precision with very tight tolerances regardless of the small size of the workpiece. 
  • Can produce complex parts. The excellent support of the bar stock during the machining process allows Swiss machining to produce incredibly complex products. Swiss machining is a popular choice for intricate pieces that require delicate features, thin walls, and deep cuts. 
  • Efficient output. Cycle times of Swiss machines tend to be significantly faster than other types of CNC machines. While most machines can require over an hour to produce a single part, Swiss machining can achieve 30 parts per hour, contingent on size and complexity. 
  • Ready to ship. Swiss machines produce such high-quality results that the need for further machining is often minimized. In many applications, parts produced from Swiss machining are ready to ship directly out of the machine.
