FF30M This all-electric precision micro injection press from Yizumi is capable of making microfluidic chips — also known as Labs-on-a-Chip. While it’s designed specifically for the medical industry, it’s also available in customizable variations for the food, electronics and other sectors. It’s ideal for clean rooms. According to a video created by the company, the machine features an optimized frame and injection structure; highly rigid platen; precision clamping force control; and high-precision linear guide design. To prevent thermal deformation and ensure platen parallelism, it has a separate support structure and optimized thermal conduction design. It has independent reinforcement for its fixed and moveable platen. The press’s injection unit utilizes double-ball screw injection technology and Smart Direct Control (SDC) Technology.
What’s new? The machine, which at the K show made Labs-on-a-Chip that featured a lattice of circles with a diameter of 0.08mm and a minimum spacing of 0.17mm.
Benefits Micron-level precision, stable injection and motion precision. The FF30M achieves response times of 0.125 millisecond.
