Brief Description

Description :

This micro machining facility which is totally indigenous in terms of its controller and graphical user interfaces and can conduct operations such as micro turning, micro milling, micro drilling and micro patterning with a maximum machining resolution of 10 microns. The developed system is expected to open up new vistas for Indian manufacturing sector and would make the backbone of the manufacturing sector stronger. As the cost of the system is low, the educational institutions would be benefitted as they could procure such systems for proper skill development. The machine has two different variants: (i) With in-built computer (ii) With RS232 port (DB-9 connector) which can be attached to any computer bearing DB-9 port. Specification of the system: Axes definition : X, Y, Z axes. Controller has provision of extension to 4th axis. Travel range : 50 mm along X, Y and Z axes. Travel resolution: 10 microns along X, Y and Z axes. Maximum error: +/- 0.018 % of max travel range along X, Y and Z axes. Repeatibility: 1 micron along X, Y, Z axes. Spindle speed: 7500 RPM (max) . Operation: Micro milling/ Micro turning/ Micro drilling/ Micro patterning . Coding: Standard G-code . Materials: Metals up to Vickers Hardness 129 with tool indexing, Polymers such as acrylic (tool indexing non functional) . Application:Instrumentation, Appliances, Devices, Control
