Fabrication
This is the ideal technology for production of a broad range of thin (up to 2.5 mm) metals and alloys, guaranteeing burr-free products, with minimal internal stresses.
PCM technology is one of the most cost effective processes for geometrically complex products, in either small batches or mass production. It is based on a lithographic process, where tooling is relatively inexpensive and rapidly available for production.
Materials:
Ferrous Alloys: Kovar, Invar, Alloy42, St.St (302, 304, 316L)
Copper Alloys : PhosBronze, Brass, CuBe, Nickel-Silver
Nickel Alloys

SURON’s advanced milling capabilities include three axis CNC milling systems, equipped with vacuum clamping technology.
Milling is one of the range of advanced technologies that SURON utilizes for machining of thin metal parts. The milling process enables component dimension accuracy of up to +/- 7 µm. High speed milling (40K rpm) results in improved cutting performance and minimal amounts of cooling lubricants.
SURON’s milling technology can be easily integrated with other in-house technologies, with optimal results, due to our preside zero-point detection and in-situ measuring capabilities. SURON’s milling systems are appropriate for machining of a wide range of materials, such as hard and soft metals, composites, and polymers.

SURON's laser welding capabilities are CNC programmable and because the welding is performed in an inert (argon) environment, voids and oxidation are minimized. Our laser welding process results in a hermetic weld (with an He leak rate of 10-9 atm-cc/sec).
Materials that can be laser welded:
Kovar, Stainless Steel, Titanium, Carbon Steel (Flexible Dies), Copper, Phosphor-Bronze, Brass, Aluminum, Soldering Preform.
