Complete tooling and workholding solutions for sliding head (Swiss-type) machining
Sliding head machining demands highly specialised tooling designed for precision, stability and consistent performance in high-volume production environments.
Our sister company – Floyd Automatic Tooling provides a comprehensive range of tooling and workholding solutions specifically developed for sliding head machining applications.
These systems are designed to support the full range of sliding head operations, including turning, drilling, parting-off, threading and knurling within compact, high-precision workspaces.
With a strong focus on application suitability and process reliability, Floyd Automatic Tooling supplies tooling and workholding designed to help manufacturers achieve stable machining performance, improved tool life and efficient cycle times in demanding production environments.
Application Overview
Sliding head machining is used for producing small, complex components where accuracy and repeatability are critical. The process relies on guided bar support close to the cutting zone, enabling the machining of long, slender parts with minimal deflection.
Tooling and workholding selection plays a key role in maintaining stability, controlling chip formation and ensuring consistent performance throughout extended production runs.
Floyd Automatic Tooling offers a complete tooling and workholding range designed specifically to meet these requirements across a wide variety of sliding head machine platforms and applications.
