Micromilling Using a High-Speed Spindle
inspire AG performs research on various project topics. Some of our current research topics include advanced and additive manufacturing, laser machining, and Industry 4.0. The scope of our research also extends to micromachinery. Our primary research objective in micromachinery is to provide a reliable micromilling strategy for microstructuring electrodes. These electrodes are applied in subsequent die-sinking EDM operations. For experimentation, milling tools with a diameter as low as 200 µm are used. To guarantee a proper cutting speed, and thus a stable process, a spindle speed as high as 200.000 rpm is required.
