As finished products and component parts become smaller in line with design standards, and quality standards rise – precision manufacturing capabilities are becoming increasingly critical to machining ...

When it comes to machining, the material that springs to mind is likely to be aluminum, steel, or plastic. We don’t necessarily think of glass as a material suitable for machining, at least not in the ...

Fundamental fabrication issues for microscale components used in MEMS/Nanotechnology. Understand and designing microfabrication processes based on photolithography and deposition/etching steps. Micro ...

A fiber-laser marker machined a 25-micron thick metal foil to a depth of 13 microns. The channel width was 75 microns — and the depth variation was less than the width of a human hair. It is a fact of ...

Micromachining applies computer numerical control (CNC) machining on the microscale. In an engineering context, that generally means dealing with dimensions between 1 and 500 micrometers (µm).

A novel type of tilt sensor may extend the capabilities of ultrasonic devices already used in a range of applications. A novel type of tilt sensor may extend the capabilities of ultrasonic devices ...

Electro Scientific Industries tells me that Jeff Albelo, general manager of its fast-growing micromachining division, has resigned. He'll be staying on until September as a consultant. "It's all for ...
