- Feb 17
- 1 min read
When Helios Injection Systems invested in their first Eurotech SwissTurn in 2022, they were new to Swiss-style machining. What began as a learning curve quickly became a competitive advantage. Today, Helios runs bar stock overnight with exceptional repeatability, minimal thermal growth, and production output that has exceeded expectations.
Customer Testimonial
”When we bought our first Eurotech SwissTurn in 2022, we were honest beginners in machining—we knew traditional lathes, but not Swiss.”
With the support of Eurotech and their local distributor, Helios implemented a true turnkey solution — the right machine, the right process, and the training to launch production with confidence.
Results at a Glance
• One-operation machining
• Zero rework
• Lights-out production
• 300–500 parts overnight (per machine)
• Minimal thermal growth + repeatability
“We’ll set up with bar stock late afternoon, and the machines run overnight holding size with excellent repeatability and minimal thermal growth — often producing 300–500 parts per machine overnight.”
— Mason Ware, COO, Helios Injection Systems
Scaling with Trofeo
As Helios continued to grow, they expanded with a turnkey Trofeo solution delivering 25–30% faster cycle times in time studies, improved tool-life monitoring, and strong ROI supported by Eurotech’s lifetime training program.
