Micro-Surgical End Effector
Challenge: Machining 17-4PH steel with features under 100µm. Achieved ±0.002mm tolerance with zero burr requirement via specialized EDM processes.
Precision: 2µmHigh-precision manufacturing services for the next generation of instruments. Specializing in micromachining, multi-axis CNC, EDM, and advanced surface finishing to deliver sub-micron accuracy.
5-axis simultaneous milling and Swiss-style turning for complex geometries. We maintain tolerances as tight as ±0.002mm across titanium, stainless steel, and aerospace alloys.
Electrical Discharge Machining for ultra-fine details and hard materials where traditional cutting fails. Ideal for internal sharp corners and micro-slots in instrument-grade components.
Specialized tooling for features down to 50 microns. Surface grinding ensures planarity and surface finishes up to 0.1 Ra for optical and fluidic interfaces.
Integration of mechanical components, sensors, and optics in a controlled environment to ensure zero contamination for sensitive instrumentation.
Real-time laser interferometry and probe-based checks during the machining cycle to verify critical datums.
Automated Coordinate Measuring Machine analysis with sub-micron resolution for full GD&T compliance.
High-magnification digital microscopy to verify surface integrity and edge quality at 1000x zoom.
Generation of full material certs and inspection reports, ensuring 100% traceability for every serial number.
