Surface micromachining with MHP
micromachining to functionalize surfaces using MHP in production
- precision manufacturing of steel parts via machine hammer peening
- specific manipulation of roughness, smoothness, micro-geometry and hardness as well as the magnetic, thermal, electrical, and chemical properties of surfaces
- in an automated machining process, integrable into existing process chains - without reclamping the workpiece
- applicable in all common machining centers
- substitution of thermal hardening processes
- -considerable extension of tool life - e.g.: up to 50% for injection molds
- partial substitution of manual polishing processes
- invisible 3-dimensional magnetic coding possibility for components
Innovation level
- unique drive system of the peening head, which enables the control and monitoring of the entire mechanical surface treatment process in-line
- the highly dynamic short-stroke linear reluctance motor allows each individual stroke of the hammer to be precisely adjusted and controlled
- acceleration values of conventional systems are exceeded by a factor of ten and more
- damping of the rebound forces to protect components of the machining center
- patent protection available
- premiere at Hannover Messe
Target audience and applications
- metal processing industry, businesses and service providers
- automotive and aerospace industry, medical metall implants
- manufacturers of machining tools, construction machinery, and plants
- tool and mold making
- microstructuring
