A comprehensive document comparing metal sheet processing and etching processing techniques! An explanation of etching processing with illustrations [Free download of the basic knowledge booklet].
<Exhibition of Mechanical Element Technology from February 26 to February 28. Makuhari Messe, Hall 3, Booth No. 18-40> In photo-etching processing, metal thin plates are shaped into arbitrary forms through the photo-plate process and the dissolving action of etching solutions. There are no burrs or work hardening like in press processing, and micron-level fine patterns are possible. Etching is suitable for the manufacturing of precision parts. With our unique hybrid etching technology, nickel-clad materials are processed using a fusion of etching and electroforming techniques to achieve high-definition shapes. We also provide one-stop solutions for composite processing (bending, forming, etc.) and surface treatments (high-performance black treatment, etc.). Advantages of etching processing: - High-precision processing without burrs, distortion, burrs, or work hardening - No need for expensive jigs like those used in press processing, significantly reducing initial costs - Capable of manufacturing and shipping in a short lead time, making it ideal for prototypes - Can process multiple items simultaneously, making it suitable for mass production Product examples: shims/apertures/mesh filters (bending processing), optical masks (black treatment processing), scales for encoders (encoder discs = slit disc shapes, linear scale shapes)
