Electrical Discharge Machining - EDM
The use of the latest, integrated SARIX μ-EDM technology allows machining with high quality and efficiency, meeting the needs of mass production scenarios, especially in the automotive industry.
Function
The process is based on the electro-erosion principle. Material is removed from the workpiece by a series of rapidly recurring current discharges between electrode and anode, separated by a dielectric liquid and subject to an electric voltage. One of the electrodes is called the tool-electrode, or simply the “electrode”, while the other is called the anode, or “workpiece.” In order to machine high quality micro holes the Posalux EDM machines have a tilting head with deformation by pressure that allows to control the diameter and the shape of the hole, resulting in a run-out of the electrode. The electrode turns on a decentered axis, giving two different gaps, one where sparks erode the material and another, bigger one, allowing a better flushing of eroded materials. In combination with CNC driven axis and a high-speed interface to communicate with the micro EDM generator, perfect micro holes are the result.
The EDM machine range micromachines parts made of conductive materials with short cycle times and high productivity.

Mechanical Micromachining
Posalux high-tech 2.5D micromachining solutions are tailored for mass production and mainly dedicated to the electronics industry.
Function
Mechanical micromachining, commonly known as micromachining, is a specialized manufacturing technology that involves the use of micro tools, such as micro-endmills or micro-drills, with geometrically defined cutting edges. This subtractive fabrication process crafts devices or features with dimensions in the micrometer range. It mirrors traditional machining in approach but operates on a distinctly smaller scale, necessitating specialized equipment and techniques to define microscale structures or components. Mechanical micromachining provides:
- Flexibility
- Cost-effective solution for small-batches
- Complex geometry
- Reduced waste
- Integration
- Scalability

FEMTOsecond LASER
FEMTOsecond LASER μ-machining is the most advanced LASER technology to process a wide range of materials. Thanks to very low heat diffusion time (< 300 fs), thermal effects are avoided. High energy density improves surface and geometries quality, while a high repetition rate ensures excellent productivity.
Function
The FEMTOsecond LASER technology is a perfect match for all industries requiring the highest precision without compromising quality and productivity. Miniaturized components are used in all kind of devices. Several applications – e.g. in the electronics or MedTech world – are not imaginable without very small and tiny parts. Thus, this requires new ways to produce and manufacture these parts. With FEMTO LASER μ-machining there are various processes possible like drilling, cutting and turning. It's compatible with almost all materials that are otherwise very difficult to machine with conventional tools. With each FEMTOsecond LASER pulse that hits the work-piece, a small amount of material immediately vaporizes. The material removal occurs in a controlled manner leading to no damage, burrs or any negative influences to the material integrity.
