Machining

SPPDG has machining capability for the purpose of creating fixtures used for assembly and test, fabricating enclosures for electronics and parts for equipment repairs, and performing failure and constructional analysis of electronic assemblies. To achieve the ability to rapidly construct a variety of fully functional electronic packages and other three-dimensional structures both in metal and various plastics, we have a high precision micromachining capability, based upon a Datron M7 HP Excelsior EX high-speed multi-tool system. The work envelope is 20" x 25" x 9.5” with an 18” x 12” vacuum plate for easy component mounting and support. The system is capable of machining the following materials: all non-ferrous metals, plastics (e.g., polycarbonate and acrylic) and composite materials such as printed circuit boards. Accuracy and repeatability of +/- 0.001 inches can be achieved. The Datron system can accept input from standard CAD and CAM software. SPPDG generates designs in SolidWorks and performs tool pathing using MasterCAM (CAM). In addition to the milling capability, SPPDG laboratory has a lathe, band saw, and belt sander.
