Shiny isn't just for show... but it is easy on the eyes. 😍 This waveguide component was expertly crafted by Dr. Marvin Groeb to show off the Micro HD's capabilities when it comes to mirror finishing of copper. In certain applications, this finish isn't just for bragging rights, it can reduce hand polishing and scrap rates for mold makers or achieve better performance from RF components like this one. This is certainly made easier with the HD's hydrostatic guides combined with linear drives. #kern #kernprecision #kernmicrotechnik #kernmicrohd #microhd #kernmicro #mirrorfinish #optics #moldmaking #rfwaveguide #highfrequency #innovation #cncmachining #machinetool #instamachinist

There's few things more satisfying than this. 😁 Who doesn't love peeling the protective film off their brand new machine? In this case, the lucky person is our own Dr. Marvin Groeb who just took delivery of his Micro HD for all his upcoming projects. We anticipate seeing more of his creations at the upcoming IMTS and AMB shows this September. Will we see you there? #kern #kernprecision #kernmicrotechnik #kernmicro #kernmicrohd #microhd #newmachine #cncmachine #machinetool #instamachinist #machinist #machining #cncmachining

Now this is cool, a sneak-peek at our factory floor! 😮 Achieving sub-micron precision requires some pretty special techniques! Here we can see the process for checking and adjusting the straightness of the X axis on a Micro Vario. By using this extremely precise autocollimator, we're able to fine-tune the mechanical accuracy to be as good as humanly possible. When the machine is this well built, there a very little left to do on the software compensation side. #kern #kernprecision #kernmicrotechnik #kernmicrovario #microvario #5axis #machinetool #cncmachining #autocollimator #precision #precisionmanufacturing #machinebuilder #robotics #automation #innovation #madeingermany #instamachinist

High-precision optical housings? The HD is ready! 😎 Dr. Marvin Groeb is working on this extremely cool optical housing with some super tight tolerances. The Micro HD has a surprisingly large work envelope and does a fantastic job switching between a roughing machine and a ultra-high precision finisher. Hopefully we'll see this part at IMTS 2024! #kern #kernprecision #kernmicrotechnik #kernmicrohd #microhd #kernmicro #5axis #optics #opticalhousing #semiconductor #defense #manufacturing #cncmachining #cncmachine #instamachinist

Wait... KERN is the perfect fit for bone plate production? 😮 Take it from our customers like ARCH Medical Solutions - Quakertown, they are telling us the Micro Vario and HD are the ideal platform for making bone plates and other medical implants. While the precision is important, the speed and surface finish are paramount for the most efficient production. This makes the Micro HD quite ideal: 2G acceleration, 60m/min rapids, 42k+ RPM spindles, not to mention the smooth operation of the hydrostatic guides combined with linear motors. #kern #kernprecison #kernmicrotechnik #boneplates #medicalimplants #medicalmanufacturing #cncmachining #cncmachine #5axis #titaniumimplants #implants #instamachinist #kernnmicro #kernmicrohd #kernmicrovario #microhd #microvario

Now that's a fast and precise way to measure your parts! 😁 Making precise parts only matters if you can prove it! Zachary Heath showed us this very cool technology the other day for quickly checking diameters with precision down to 0.000050" (0.0012mm)! It's call air gaging, where the instrument precisely measures the amount of airflow leaking through the gage in order to determine the diameter. It's definitely a smart way to check your parts! #kern #kernprecision #technology #metrology #manufacturing #airgage #airgaging #precision #measuringtechnology #machinetool #instamachinist

The magic behind the Micro HD: Our microgap hydrostatics combined with linear motors. 😮 The most significant difference between the KERN Micro HD and any other machine tool on the market is definitely it's one-of-a-kind axis design. With the patented microgap hydrostatic guideways, the motion is essentially friction-free, experiencing no slip-stick behavior. Combined with a contactless linear motor, this system is wear-free, extremely stiff, highly dynamic, and unbelievably accurate. How cool is that? #kern #kernprecision #kernmicrotechnik #kernmicrohd #microhd #kernmicro #micromachining #cncmachine #5axis #instamachinist #cncmachining #technology #innovation #machinetool

ARCH Medical Solutions - Quakertown certainly knows how to make their KERN dance! 😎 The team at ARCH is doing a phenomenal job getting the best performance out of their Micro Vario. The combination of toolpaths from Fusion 360 combined with Heidenhain's excellent 5 axis control really help to realize the full potential from the Vario's performance capabilities. #kern #kernprecison #kernmicrotechnik #microvario #kernmicro #microhd #kernmicrohd #medicalinstruments #medicalimplants #medicalmanufacturing #cncmachining #cncmachine #5axis #fusion360 #heidenhain #instamachinist Alex Kern David Bender HEIDENHAIN Autodesk Design & Manufacturing

KERN is excited to return to IMTS, this time, bigger and better than ever! 😁 We hope you'll be in attendance for our best showing yet. This time, with more technology on display than ever, along with our knowledgeable staff and impressive demonstrations. We hope to see you at booth no. 338719! #kernprecision #kernmicrotechnik #innolite #6ctools #imts2024
