Micro Machining
In the medical markets micro-parts have changed how surgeries are performed and how patients recover. Patients’ years ago would have had to stay in the hospital for weeks to recover from a major surgery now they can go home the next day or even same day. The challenge has been for manufactures to produce products consistently and precisely even-though the part might look like a grain of rice to the naked eye. C-Axis jumped at the challenge to work with such difficult small parts or parts with difficult small details and has over a decade experience working with micro parts.
Tolerances in the 10 thousandth of an inch are often the norm for Micro parts and measurements of such small details require non-contact methods. At C-Axis we have micro scopes throughout our facilities and at all work stations, as well as multiple optical comparators, and two different vision systems.
