This level of precision and surface finish will be demonstrated on the KERN Micro HD machining centre that is now available in the UK from Rainford Precision.
If you want to see how it works, you can do so at EMO 2021 or discuss your precision machining requirements with Rainford Precision if you are not able to attend. At the event, Kern will manufacture injection moulding tools for filter housings that are used in respiratory masks.
The parts will be initially roughed with the Heidenhain Optimised Contouring Machining (OCM) option and then brought to the highest quality at critical points with 5-axis grinding cycles via jig grinding.
After machining, manual polishing of such precision parts is an industry-standard process, however, the high surface quality in the single-digit nanometer range that the Micro HD achieves, means that this production step can be omitted. Several innovative features are decisive for the performance of this technology from Kern.
In addition to the linear direct drives, the microgap hydrostatics guideways and the sophisticated temperature management system are the main contributors to this unfathomable performance level.
Different automation systems can be integrated with the Kern Micro HD depending on the application. That is why Kern considers targeted, project-related advice as almost indispensable.
Highly qualified staff will be available to answer questions from EMO visitors regarding the Kern Micro HD and other Kern machines such as the variably configurable Micro Vario and the Micro Pro, a process-stable solution for efficient part processing in a price-sensitive market segment. For further information, please contact Rainford Precision or visit Stand C21 in Hall 1 at EMO 2021.
