Fully automated high-precision milling
From March 2020, the ARTORG Center can produce workpieces made of plastic, steel, aluminium and titanium fully automatically in a state-of-the-art machining centre for drilling and milling work. With the new 3.5-ton heavy milling machine, the Mechanical Design and Production workshop completes its modern instrument park to manufacture customized parts for biomedical research and technology development of the ARTORG and external research partners. The machine can produce highly complex surfaces with a positioning accuracy of 5 µm.

In addition to the X, Y and Z axes, the new high-precision milling machine is equipped with a controlled rotation head, which also allows simultaneous machining in 4 axes. This means that all 4 axes move simultaneously, thus enabling the production of highly complex surfaces. The Mechanical Design and Production unit co-develops and manufactures mechanical and electro-mechanical components for ARTORG's research groups. It supports all levels of the design and manufacturing process from concept to production.
