The company known for ultra-precise machining centers and contract manufacturing of demanding components with µm accuracy showcases various complex components at its booth D03 in Hall 9. Experts explain to professional visitors how it is possible to achieve µm precision in series production.
What would you like: a mechanical joint made of titanium, a resonator body with a mirror surface made of copper, a wafer made of silicon carbide, or bit inserts made from various materials – all this and more can be seen at the Make-to-Order Days, held for the first time in Stuttgart, at the Kern Microtechnik booth 9/D03. The precision manufacturer aims not only to demonstrate what is technically feasible in terms of precision but also what can be economically produced in small and large series.
The displayed components are not real parts, as they are all subject to confidentiality regulations. However, in terms of complexity, accuracy, surface quality, and material selection, they meet the requirements that are often demanded and sometimes needed in large quantities. Based on the exhibition pieces, competent contacts at the trade fair explain to visitors how such workpieces can be produced flexibly in a consistently high quality, in quantities of up to 200,000 pieces per year.
Crucial for this are extensive process knowledge and high-end machines with flexible automation options. All of this is available in the contract manufacturing of Kern Microtechnik. With the use of several Kern Micro HD machines, partially fully automated with robots, a 24/7 operation is not the exception but the rule.
A concrete example: The resonator body made of copper designed for use in particle accelerators can be manufactured in large series by Kern's contract manufacturing. The component measures 70 x 70 x 50 mm, has particularly high requirements for the flatness of the joining surface and for the surfaces in the electrically active part. This area is milled on a Kern Micro HD with a diamond tool, achieving the lowest roughness and the highest homogeneity. In numbers: Rz = 0.05 µm.
