Technology terms defined:
Photo Chemical Machining (PCM), photo etching, and chemical milling
involves the exact removal of material from a thin metal sheet by various
processes. The parts are then formed into complex shapes. The photo
chemical machining and milling
processes can precisely etch lines and spaces on all types of metals
(alloys: kovar, nickel, brass, beryllium, copper, stainless steel, aluminum,
and others) with detailed accuracies. This is used for creating specialty
flex circuits, plus in engineering of other rigid technologies. This
results in a burr free part with very close tolerances. Take a detailed
view of the fabricated antenna elements example part for details to
what can be produced using this technology.
We've helped our customers engineer special applications & products
from the prototype design and development phases, then carried the project
through to mass production work. There have been numerous specially
engineered development, hybrid & mil-spec work projects that are of
a proprietary nature which are being used in diverse industries. Through
our technical and engineering support we can
help you in your designs.
