Medical device manufacturer expands with MR-4 Micro Lathe
When it comes to high precision micro turning applications, Medical Micro Machining in Colfax, Wash., relies on Microlution MR-4 micro lathes. Like other Microlution micro machining platforms, the MR-4 is optimized for high precision applications with an extremely stable, compact design and enhanced flexibility for prototyping, R&D, and small batch production runs.
“The main advantages that the MR-4 gives us are in quick set up times, improved cycle times, and fast change over from job to job,” according to company president Rob Whitemore. “It is extremely easy to set up and tear down for different applications, and we’re able to machine parts we can’t make with other systems.”
The MR-4 features modular, gang-style tooling, live tooling, four axes of motion, automated tool sensing, and Microlution’s signature high-speed motion platform which provides unmatched stability.
Cooling concept and reserve capacity
The MIKRON HSM 200(U) LP range leads precision machining into a new era. Sophisticated cooling management for heat discharge of the electrical drive groups.
All linear axes and the circular-swivel unit feature a separate cooling circuit.
Thermal precision Micro machining made easy The workpiece and tool measuring systems are especially suited for micro machining.
Low tactile forces allow for damage free and highly precise measurement of geometric features
Precision laser optics for highly precise measurement of very small tool diameters Component precision
