Innovative solution for modern industrial filtration needs

In addition, he says that whereas most PCE service suppliers use digital photo tooling created on films, micrometal uses photo tooling created on glass, which can achieve tolerances in the range of 1-2 microns, and negates issues with distortion due to environmental factors such as humidity that are a constant problem when using film tooling.

Therefore, according to Martinson, micrometal’s PCE process allows the manufacture of thinner lightweight filters, and filters that promote higher transmission than traditionally made filters. The process also allows variable hole geometries with angled or conical through-holes which can be varied in a single pattern.

Conclusion

Traditional methods of manufacturing high-transmission filters, says micrometal, have their limitations, such as restricted precision, limited hole geometries, and material wastage. In contrast, the company believes that photochemical etching process emerges as the method of choice for creating these filters, offering superior advantages. Martinson concludes that micrometal’s next generation PCE enables the production of highly precise, lightweight filters with intricate hole patterns, capable of withstanding high pressures. This versatility and precision make photochemical etching particularly well-suited for industries like automotive, aerospace, and heavy equipment, where efficient filtration and space-saving designs are critical. Therefore, according to Martinson the use of photochemical etching for high-transmission filter production strongly stands as a reliable solution for modern industrial filtration needs.
