How microns matter in precision engineering for medical, aerospace, and defense.

🔬 Precision engineering at its finest: When microns make all the difference. Tight tolerance manufacturing achieves dimensional accuracy within ±0.010" (±0.25 mm) or tighter. For advanced applications, we're talking micron-level precision where ±0.001" enables breakthrough innovations. WHERE PRECISION MATTERS: ✅ Medical devices: Surgical instruments requiring exact fit and function ✅ Aerospace: High-performance components for extreme environments ✅ Defense: Advanced systems demanding exceptional reliability WHAT IT TAKES: ➡️ Advanced CNC machining with temperature compensation ➡️ Coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) with ±0.0001" accuracy ➡️ Climate-controlled environments within ±1°C ➡️ Statistical process control monitoring every dimension Tight tolerance manufacturing costs 2-5x more than standard processes due to specialized equipment, extended cycle times, and rigorous quality control. But this precision investment enables the innovations that advance medical treatment, aerospace performance, and defense capabilities. When engineering excellence drives real-world impact, every micron counts. Ready to discuss your precision manufacturing requirements?

Breaking the Limits of Optical Metrology: Nanometer Precision in Real-World Production We’ve taken the repeatability of our optical inspection systems to a whole new level: With just 30 measurements, we achieve a standard deviation of only 4.79 nm – corresponding to a stability that is 10 to 20 times better than that of conventional optical measurement systems in this class. ▶️ Technical Specifications: Reference object (step height standard): 5 µm step height Lateral resolution: 1.25 µm Image width (FoV): 20.48 mm Scan rate: up to 100,000 lines/second Result: σ = 4.79 nm over 30 repetitions ▶️ What does this mean in practice? Our systems measure height differences in the micrometer range with variations in the nanometer range – roughly 1/1000th the thickness of a human hair. This performance clearly exceeds the process capability requirements (GR&R ≤ 10%) demanded by the automotive industry. ▶️ The benefit: More precision means greater process reliability, reduced scrap, and more dependable quality data – even at high speeds and under variable environmental conditions. We’re proud to deliver this level of performance from our own development. 👉 Interested? Visit us at productronica, Hall B2, Booth 261, together with ATEcare and Fraunhofer IZM.
