Nano-Precision Machining Technology



KERN Precision, Inc., a subsidiary of KERN Microtechnik GmbH, will present ultra- and nano-precision machine tool technology. The company will exhibit the KERN Ultra Precision EVO CNC machining center equipped for 3- to 5-axis machining of medium to large production lot sizes.

"The KERN EVO machining center provides high productivity through fast acceleration and feedrates and spindle speeds up to 50,000 RPM, while assuring a high degree of precision on the part," said a company spokesperson. "The machining center's polymer concrete mono-block frame absorbs forces and vibrations that occur during machining. Users can obtain high precision on a workpiece due to the KERN EVO's construction and positioning accuracy of +/-0.5 um (0.00002 inch). The EVO's advanced machine technology also provides enhanced surface finish quality down to +/- 0.1 um Ra."

The ultra-precision system can be outfitted with comprehensive accessories and options, such as a 2-axis (B/C) high precision rotary table, a laser tool measuring system, touch probe and an automatic tool changer with 32, 63 or 95 positions. Optional spindles providing speeds up to 160,000 RPM are also available. Another potential add-on is an automatic workpiece changer with 24 positions, alternatively with 36, 60 or more positions.
