KERN MICRO High Precision Machining Centre

The KERN MICRO machine is the successor to the original bench top machine, in that the "C" frame casting is still evident but now filled with and placed on a polymer concrete base to eliminate vibration and improve surface finish.

A number of different spindles (up to 160,000 rpm) are available but the most common today is the "PRECISE" vector controlled spindle with speeds between 500 and 50,000 rpm. A 20 station tool magazine is available together with 4 and 4th/5th axis tables.

A BLUM laser tool measuring system assists the tool length setting especially on small diameter tools, while a RENISHAW or M&H component probing system finds the workpiece co-ordinates.

A compact and user friendly machine enhanced with a HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 control system ensures its easy integration in to prototype or small batch producing environments.

Accuracy on the workpiece ±2.5 micron
