Device Description
The Kern Micro HD is a high-precision 5-axis micro-milling machine for machining miniature parts with complex geometries. Featuring a granite structure, linear direct drives, and ultra-precise positioning (in the sub-micrometer range), it is ideally suited for medical technology, post-processing of delicate additively manufactured structures, and mold making. Control is provided via a Heidenhain system. An automatic tool changer enhances productivity.
Device Application
The system is designed for hard machining of metals and offers high surface quality, process reliability, and seamless integration into digital manufacturing process chains.
