Miform research project

Together with the IWU Fraunhofer Institute and the Roth & Rau company we develop a technology and forming machine for the manufacture of microstructural elements by forming.
On the basis of results obtained in a microfabrication technology project of IWU that demonstrate the general feasibility of hot embossing of microstructural elements from metals, the project intends to further develop this technology to allow industrial use.
Special attention is paid to the integration of the forming plant into a microsystem technology manufacturing environment. Hegewald & Peschke's task is the following:
Development of a universal testing machine / forming machine with the following technical parameters:

- forming forces up to 600 kN
- working space suitable for the installation of process chambers
- fast convertibility to a wide range of tools
- max. tumbling (tilt) of load arm in x-y direction not greater than 0.01 mm/m
- reasonable price-performance ratio
