Parts machined on Swiss-type lathes often feature minute dimensions, complex structures, stringent tolerances (often at the micrometer level), and expensive materials. They are used in high-reliability fields (such as medical and precision instruments). Even the slightest error can lead to part failure. Therefore:

1. In-machine measurement is the core of process control, ensuring the stability and consistency of the machining process and reducing scrap.

2. Offline precision inspection is the cornerstone of final quality verification and traceability, providing authoritative reports compliant with international standards to meet customer and regulatory requirements.

3. Multiple instruments complement each other: No single instrument can solve all problems. CMMs excel at geometric dimensions, roundness/cylindricity testers specialize in rotational bodies, profilometers focus on surface texture, and white light interferometers analyze nanoscale topography. Only through combined use can quality be comprehensively controlled.

Conclusion: The high barriers of Swiss-type machining are reflected not only in the machine tools themselves but also in their supporting high-end measurement ecosystem, which is equally technology-intensive and costly. These precision measuring instruments are the indispensable "eyes" and "brain" ensuring the realization of "Swiss precision" and the flawless quality of complex, miniature parts. The depth and breadth of their application directly reflect a company's true capabilities in the field of high-precision manufacturing.
