micronozzles
Micron-size Features,
Sub-micron Accuracy.
Our micronozzle fabrication process was developed to assist a two-phase drop-impingement cooling system for space station electronics. With 10+ micron diameters and sub-micron accuracy, our micro-EDM group has produced over 200 million custom-contoured micronozzles and nozzles plates for jetting applications in industrial inkjet, medical, and scientific markets for nearly 30 years.
Mikros Micronozzle Capabilities:
- Nozzle substrates from any electrically conductive material, typically stainless steel
- Diameters ranging from 10 to 175 microns with sub-micron accuracy
- Positional accuracy to less than a micron
- Shapes in any profile of constant or descending diameter
- Foil Aspect ratios as low as 10%
- Surface finishes to Ra=2 micro-inches or less
- ISO-9001-2015 Certified Design and Manufacturing
