Deep drawing applications
Deep drawing is a versatile technique and is used in a variety of manufacturing applications. Deep drawing is a good alternative to turning or milling when quantities increase. It can also be a good alternative for other products made from sheet metal that are currently made by bending and setting. There are significant advantages to deep drawing such as cost savings in material consumption, high scalability, low production costs and stable dimensions.
Deep drawing of optical housings
Demanding applications where, for example, gases or liquids need to be analyzed are often measured by optical sensors. These include infrared and UV light in applications such as spectroscopy, radiometry and pyrometry. Our micro deep drawing products are often used as covers for these sensors to direct light onto the sensor in a controlled manner. Materials are often corrosion resistant such as stainless steel, copper and nickel.
Deep drawing for defense and security applications
Deep drawing components for defense are often used in security applications. Measuring and detecting gases or liquids require detectors with high precision and extreme durability. Our products are often used as essential equipment components. Heat transfer, gas measurements or protecting vital components are just some of these applications.
Deep drawing of medical components and disposables
Under the standardization of ISO 13485, regulation and further tightening of requirements have caused the number of single-use products in the medical world to increase. Micro deep-drawing is perfectly suited to fill this need for inexpensive and large quantities. Many disposables are produced using micro deep drawing and are often made from high quality metals such as 304 or 316 stainless steel, titanium, or precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium, rhodium and iridium.
Deep drawing of housings for micro cameras
If cameras are to be used for intravenous applications, there are not many options for designing a suitable housing for this that meets all the desired specifications. Micro deep drawing can be a solution. With wall thicknesses of up to 20 microns and an accuracy of a few mu’s, it leaves other techniques behind.
Deep drawing in automotive
New cars have a huge number of sensors built into them each with its own functionality. Deep drawing can be used to make housings for wide variety of these sensors. Pressure, fuel, thermal and flow sensors are just a few examples for which deep drawing can be used. In recent years, however, we have also seen a large increase in Lidar, Camera and radar applications used in autonomous driving.
Deep drawing for aerospace
Reliability is the magic word in aerospace. With a high degree of consistency and repeatability, deep drawing is perfectly suited for this type of application. The demand for special products in small runs are more the rule here than the exception.
