Process

MIKRONITE® is a dry mechanical process with such accuracy and power that its benefits can be measured at the microstructure level. Through the precise control of extreme compressive forces and high frequency oscillation, parts can be improved in more profound ways than post production finishing has ever offered. Now a new tool for the engineer allows access to the ideal states of material science and the ability to reduce failure potential in otherwise process or substrate damaged parts. As vibratory tumbling became a standard preparation for plating, MIKRONITE® will be the standard for product strength, tolerance, material specification compliance, and chemical preparation for modern coating and vapor deposition technologies.

MIKRONITE® systems are perfectly suited to modern manufacturing applications. All systems are stand alone units having a very compact footprint. No additional ventilation or sound attenuation is required in installation, and all machines can operate on multiple voltages and worldwide power variations.

The machines are designed to be operated by a single individual, and in most cases multiple machines can be operated by a trained person simultaneously. This allows existing factories to add this technology regardless of their method of manufacturing, integrating seamlessly into cellular, throughput, assembly line, or "JIT" just in time philosophies.

In case of high volume manufacturing needs, machines can either be designed to integrate into product creation by matching speeds of other elements of the assembly line process, or by being designed to do batch loads at efficient times in the assembly.

In the case of commercial products with minimum lot tracking, batch processes tend to be the preferred method. With expensive industrial grade product, it is more common to work JIT with complete traceability of products.
