Quick, accurate system is easy to use

Hot embossing can be a solution for the production of micro components requiring highly precise molding and micro structures produced in polymer having aggressive aspect ratios. The HEX03 hot embossing system provides benefits of more flexibility and efficiency compared to micro injection molding, says this manufacturer. The unit features a fully automated press, a patented opto-electronic overlay alignment unit, plus a device for automatic mold release by compressed air. It allows accurate positioned embossing, especially needed in hybrid or double-sided embossing. Embossing cycle time is typically 5 minutes. Overall alignment accuracy is 2 µm.
