Frequently Asked Questions
Can CIC manage multi-process components across different metal processes?
Yes. CIC's integrated manufacturing capabilities allow us to manage components requiring multiple processes — for example, a Swiss machined shaft with a custom spring and wire form retainer — under a single purchase order, reducing supplier management burden and simplifying your supply chain.
What is the difference between precision machining and Swiss machine parts?
Swiss machining uses a sliding headstock lathe with guide bushing support to produce very small, long, complex turned parts with extreme precision and surface finish. Precision machining encompasses broader CNC turning, milling, drilling, and grinding for larger or more complex prismatic components.
What tolerances can CIC hold on machined components?
CIC's Swiss machining capabilities hold tolerances to ±.0001" on critical features. Conventional precision machining typically achieves ±.001" or tighter depending on geometry and material.
Does CIC offer design assistance for springs and wire forms?
Yes. Our engineering team works with customers to design custom springs and wire forms optimized for load requirements, fatigue life, space envelope, and material cost — from initial concept through production qualification.
What materials does CIC process across metal forming services?
We work with carbon and alloy steels, stainless steels, aluminum alloys, copper alloys, titanium, and specialty materials across all our metal processing capabilities. Contact us with your specific material and tolerance requirements.
