Micro Precision Parts
Micro-machined components down to 0.1 mm in diameter, sub-2 mm in length, and ±0.005 mm tolerances. Trusted by our medical device, sensor, and precision instrumentation clients for parts where micron-level precision must hold across thousands of cycles. Backed by the engineering support and complete accountability of a long-term manufacturing partner.
Our Capabilities
Selected disciplines behind every Micralink micro precision part. A representative but not exhaustive list.
Design
Designing micro-machined components for repeatable precision at sub-millimetre scales.
Tool Path Engineering: Optimised cutting parameters balance speed, accuracy, and tool wear at micro scales.
Material-Driven Machinability: Material selection directly affects cutting parameters and downstream processes, from chip formation to surface finish and secondary finishing. Stainless, titanium, brass, copper, and engineering plastics each require distinct approaches.
Process
Selection
We match machine choice and manufacturing process to your part's application, geometry, volume, and tolerance.
CNC Machine Capability: Sliding headstock, high-RPM spindles, and high-stability workholding for sub-2 mm micro-machining.
Precision Setup & Tool Path: Meticulous CNC setup, tool path design, and thermally stable operating conditions. Every variable (machine, tooling, stock, ambient conditions) affects final precision.
Critical Supply Chain Partners
Micro-machining precision depends on the quality of what goes into the machine and how precise and high quality our tools are.
Stock Quality: Tight metallurgical consistency and dimensional uniformity in raw stock. Variations in stock propagate into the finished part.
Tool Suppliers: Tool selection is a precision decision, not a purchasing decision. Premium-grade inserts maintain stability and edge geometry across extended runs, and lot-to-lot consistency is treated as a manufacturing variable. Variations between batches become variations between parts.
Secondary Processes
Verification at every stage, from first article to final inspection.
QC Equipment: Multisensor measurement systems verify every specification of every part against print, automatically. Pre-programmed routines run batch inspections faster and more consistently than manual methods, with accuracy many times tighter than the tolerances they verify.
QC Process: Defects caught before shipment, not after. Every inspection stage recorded with calibrated equipment and operator sign-off, supporting your quality audits and regulatory requirements.
Quality
Control
Secondary finishing brings micro-machined parts to specification
Deburring & Cleaning: Burr-free, contamination-free surfaces ready for downstream processes or final use. Manual, ultrasonic, or micro-abrasive methods chosen to match part requirements.
Surface Finishing: Passivation, electropolishing, and coating to meet corrosion, biocompatibility, or conductivity requirements.
Applications
Precision-machined micro-components enable critical functionality in medical, sensor, and instrumentation applications where standard parts cannot meet size or tolerance requirements.
