Company
ELEFIL SWISS sarl is a company specialised in wire EDM, based in Meyrin in the canton of Geneva, Switzerland. Its expertise is focused exclusively on ultra-precision, small-scale machining by wire EDM; the machine fleet consists entirely of GF Agie Charmilles Cut 1000 machines (three oil-based and one water-based) with travels of 220 x 160 x 100 mm. ELEFIL SWISS manufactures parts of very high complexity as prototypes and series. The service portfolio additionally includes metrology (including MicroVu Vertex 261UM SWD, Mitutoyo measuring column, Keyence IM 6145, micrometer gauges in 0.002-mm steps) as well as cleaning and packaging including vacuum packaging (Greiner ACS 900, Elmasonic ultrasonics, Turbovac). Served industries are aerospace (including the Mars mission Curiosity), horology, medical technology, testing technology, research, plastics injection moulding, mechanics and nuclear power. The sister company is ELEFIL SAS in Scientrier, France.
