..and high precision operations. At this year’s EPHJ on booth E42 visitors will be able to discover three different technologies dedicated to highly demanding fields like watch industry and others.
There are always new ways to realize parts or operations and this year’s highlight at Spingmann’s booth will be
- SLS (selective laser sintering) with precious material
- Industrial polishing for small parts
- Two side grinding
SLS - still little known technology The principle of building the parts is simple, a thin layer of metal powder is deposited on the working surface (250 mm x 250 mm), and a laser moves in X and in Y to merge metal on selected locations. Once the “cut” at this level of the part is fully sintered, a new layer of material is deposited and the laser moves to selectively sinter metal at required locations. The part is thus constructed layer by layer. Huge advantage, shapes are not limited by conventional technologies of machining by material removal. A new world of possible parts opens…
1- digital model of the part, 2-deposition of the first layer of powder, 3-fusion of the powder in the cross-section of the part, 4 - platform goes down, 5-deposition of a new layer of powder, 6 - the operation is repeated until the part is completed (fusion, filing, lowering), 7-elimination of the non-melted material, 8-the part is complete.
. To be discovered on Springmann’s booth at EPHJ from June 5 to 8 in Geneva. Customers of the company and interested people can ask for entrance tickets at [email protected] or by phone on +41 32 729 11 29.
