One of our most interesting high precision components, that caught a lot of attention during our exhibition at SEMICONSEA 2024, is our capability to produce high complexity leaf springs. These components, with super thin spring and flexure features, is a very popular design in the semiconductor, analytical, laser and optical industry. The manufacturing of these parts requires our high-end Sodick, Inc. Wire-EDM machine, combined with our years of experience in mastering the techniques and optimizing the production strategy.
Optimized Wire-EDM cutting parameters to produce flexure thickness of 0.05mm.
High-precision leaf springs and flexures are commonly used in applications that requires high accuracy control and distribution of forces.
Typical applications include displacement sensors, flexure gauges, touch probes, robot grippers, and more.
The fundamental of the force distribution of a flexure, is where its thickness is determined by our tolerance control capability at ±0.002mm
