Plymouth, MA. - Capabilities brochure describes how the photo etching process allows Tech-Etch to produce intricate parts for many diverse mechanical and electrical applications. Custom light-gauge parts are produced with intricate patterns, precise tolerances and burr-free edges, in addition to exact repeatability. The brochure contains photographs of over 100 precision parts to illustrate this capability. Applications include encoders, masks, filters, lead frames, flat springs, strain gauges, laminations, step covers, heat sinks, shields, electron grids, shims, implants, blades, stents, cathodes, and fuel cell plates. Metals such as beryllium copper, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, titanium, tungsten, nitinol, molybdenum, brass and spring steels can be etched, as well as polyimide film. The brochure also features Tech-Etch’s ability to produce tight-tolerance photo etched screens with tapered or straight holes, custom board level shielding, and flexible circuits using both adhesive based and adhesiveless raw materials. Design engineers will find dimension tolerance and minimum bend radius charts. Parts range in thickness from .0005" to .0300". Laser machining is offered for thicker parts from .030" to .125", and is also used for precision drilling and ablating of polyimide laminates used in flexible circuits. Special processes such as forming, laminating, heat treatment, assembly and finishing are all available in-house to complete any project.
Tech-Etch, Inc., ISO 9001:2000; AS9100:2004 Rev B registered, manufactures precision parts, flexible circuits and is a global leader for standard and custom EMI/RFI shielding products.
