TMN’s Successful Projects (High Precision Metal Shims)
High Precision Metal Shims For Well-known German Medical Equipment Brand
Launched in 2018, this Successful project (High Precision Metal Shims) has been ongoing to the present. A renowned German medical equipment brand discovered TMN through Google. Following initial discussions between our engineering R&D team and their sales team, both parties signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
Shortly after, the client provided detailed drawings, marking the beginning of a successful collaboration.
More Information About this project
The general information is as follows:
- Raw Material: NiCo alloy (Ni 86%, Co 14%)
- Thickness: 0.23 mm
- Outside Dimension: 20 mm × 24 mm
Etching layers
There are 4 etching layers:
- First Layer: Etching 4 through holes with a diameter of 2.5 mm.
- Second Layer: Etching 2 through holes with a diameter of 2.05 mm.
- Third Layer: Etching 24 × 42 = 1,008 holes with an etched depth of 0.2 mm. The diameter of these holes is 0.2 mm.
- Fourth Layer: Etching 24 × 42 = 1,008 holes with a diameter of 0.011 mm and a thickness of 0.03 mm. These holes are located in the center of the 0.2 mm holes.
High-Precision Metal Slit for Light Beam Filtering
This high precision metal slit functions as a filter for different light beams, requiring exceptional accuracy. Due to its intricate design, manufacturing this component is extremely challenging, especially in processing micropores at the hole center.
The Technical Challenge
The core challenge lies in creating a 0.011 mm micropore within a 0.2 mm diameter hole. This level of precision is difficult to achieve, making the manufacturing process highly complex.
Advanced Manufacturing Process
TMN employs a two-step approach to achieve the required precision:
- Etching Process: The initial 0.2 mm hole is formed using a high-precision etching technique.
- Laser Micromachining: High-precision laser equipment is then used to create the 0.011 mm micropore at the exact center of the hole.
Throughout the entire process, precise positioning is critical. Additionally, the extremely high scrapping rate makes mass production nearly impossible.
Overcoming the Challenges
Despite the difficulties, the TMN team remained persistent. After two months of continuous efforts, they successfully achieved mass production of this complex component. This milestone not only marked a technical breakthrough but also became a valuable and unforgettable experience for the team.
Innovation and Growth
By continuously tackling such challenges, TMN has repeatedly pushed the boundaries of technological innovation. This dedication to overcoming technical bottlenecks has allowed the company to grow, manufacture increasingly sophisticated high-precision metal products, and secure more collaborations with world-renowned brands.
