ULTRA PRECISION MACHINING
Micro Systems can produce optical inserts for conventional and micro molds, with the capability to directly machine mirror finishes into hardened steel mold inserts, without the need for further operations.
MICRO MILLING
Our KERN Pyramid Nano can machine fully hardened steel using cutters as small as 50 microns in diameter (0.002″), with is advanced 5-axis, and a spindle speed of 55,000 RPM.
GRINDING
We can work from small to large workpieces in single, small and large series production, for mold inserts manufactures for 16 and 32-cavity fast cycling ophthalmic and IOL molds.
MICRO EDM & WIRE EDM
We can cut through hardened steel with a wire diameter of 30 microns (0.0013″) and a positional accuracy of 0.001mm (0.00004″).
TOP-QUALITY TOOL-MAKING FACILITIES
In both the UK and Singapore, we invest in the latest technologies to manufacture the best possible mold toolings in the most effective way for our customers. Some of our machines include:
- Kern Pyramid Nano Micro Milling machines: less than 0.5 micron repeatability, less than 10 nm Ra surface finish
- EDM machines: 1 micron repeatability, 30 micron diameter wire for hardened steel cutting
- Cylindrical Grinding machines: for mould inserts manufacture for 16 and 32 cavity fast cycling ophthalmic and IOL moulds
Throughout the lifetime of our manufactured molds, we provide mold maintenance services for our customers to maximize our mold life cycle.
UNLIMITED INNOVATION
Micro Systems strives for innovative manufacturing methods to maximise our customers’ benefits, both financial and technically. For example, our Conformal Cooling channels for medical injection molds reduce the cycle time of a medical packaging part from 6.5 seconds to 3.5 seconds.
FROM RAPID PROTOTYPING TO MASS MANUFACTURING
Micro Systems can get your prototypes manufactured effectively within a short time-scale, helping you verifying the future of your projects. For other on-demand mold projects, our experienced designers and engineers support you throughout the process to ensure the molds manufactured meet your highest requirements.
