Label Date June 20, 2019
From Switzerland
Maturity stage TRL 9 / CRI 2 - Commercial Trial Small Scale

The Micro5 is based on a 5-axis milling machine as it is one of the most common machines used in the manufacturing industry. The machine can produce anything that fits in a bloc of material of 50 mm3, perfect for any watch components for example. It takes little space in the production facilities, it is silent, consumes sixty times less energy without losing any milling speed or precision. One of the main advantages of Micro5 is that it does not heat up as it uses ambient cool down. This is in great contrast to other milling machines that can heat up to dangerous levels.

The Environmental Benefits

  • Consumes 0.4kWh when in use.
  • No loss in speed or precision.

The Financial Benefits

  • Uses microlubrication which amounts to less than 3 liters per year thus saving in operational costs.
