Automated micro-ECM for air bearing production

“该项目将研究和测试一种新的生产方法，以制造先进的轴承滑道和主轴部件。先进的生产技术将使合作伙伴能够生产出性能领先的精密运动导轨和主轴。这些滑轨和主轴将是高价值和性能增强元件的领导伙伴机床产品系列。新系统将取代目前由主要合作伙伴从美国进口的系统，它们本身可以代表未来的英国产品。从长远来看，开发的生产技术可以代表一系列新的微型机床产品的技术基础。合作伙伴将探索创造的工艺技术的更广泛的商业机会。”

"This project will investigate and test a new production method to fabricate fine features of advanced bearing slideway and spindle components. The developed production technology will enable the collaborating partners to produce leading performance precision motion slideways and spindles. These slideways and spindles will be high value and performance enhancing elements of the Lead Partners machine tool product range. The new systems will replace those presently imported by the Lead partner from the US and in themselves can represent future UK products.In the longer term, the developed production technology could represent the technology basis for a new range of micro-machine tool products. The partners will explore the broader commercial opportunities of the created process technology."
