Swiss · 5-Axis · Ferrule Turning · Robotic Loading

Precision parts, delivered on time and on tolerance.

Piccolo Precision Products is a Swiss turning and 5-axis machining shop serving aerospace and medical customers. Tight tolerances, reliable throughput, and a robotic loading cell that keeps spindles cutting around the clock.

Full-service precision machining, under one roof.

From low-volume runs to production quantities, we cover the full workflow — material sourcing, programming, machining, inspection, and finishing.

Swiss Turning

High-volume, tight-tolerance turned parts in stainless, titanium, brass, PEEK, and specialty alloys — from 1mm bone screws to 1.25" shaft assemblies.

5-Axis Milling

Complex geometries machined in a single setup. Our 5-axis center handles aerospace brackets, orthopedic implants, and ISR-grade housings with repeatable precision.

Robotic Loading Cell

Integrated automation on our 5-axis center means consistent throughput, lights-out runtime, and repeatable fixturing — reducing cycle-to-cycle variation on production runs.

Production Support

Reliable setup, programming, machining, inspection, and finishing support for production-ready precision components.

Inspection & QA

CMM and optical inspection, first-article inspection reports (FAIR), PPAP documentation, and full material and process traceability. Proven experience manufacturing precision components for aerospace, automation, and other high-performance industries, with documentation tailored to customer requirements.

Materials Expertise

Deep experience with titanium 6AL-4V, 17-4 PH, Inconel, MP35N, PEEK, ULTEM, and 316LVM stainless steel. Complex materials are routine work here.

The machines that do the work.

Purpose-built cells, not a generalist shop. Each platform is tuned for the kind of work it runs best.

Specialty · Fiber Optic

Fiber optic ferrule turning.

Sub-micron concentricity, mirror-grade finishes, and bore tolerances measured in ten-thousandths of a millimeter. Ferrule work is where Swiss turning earns its reputation — and ours.

Whether you need standard LC, SC, or FC ferrules in 303 stainless, or custom zirconia-compatible metal shells for a proprietary connector, we program and produce to your spec. High-volume production runs are routine; first-piece inspections are documented.
