Product Announcements: Ultra-hard Materials Machining

PREMATECH ADVANCED CERAMICS combines the highest level of service with an extensive knowledge of ceramic machining. A truly scientific approach is applied to the process to maintain consistency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. (read more)

We are one of the few to machine ceramic and ultrahard materials in very small order quantities. We are well recognized within the Ceramic Materials Marketplace for our superior quality Test Specimens and Coupons, along with our MOR bars. (read more)

Problem, Solution, Result A cutting edge developer of scientific instrumentation was sourcing a small diameter ceramic bobbin requiring concentricity to three microns on a tiny axial bore. Although high electrical and wear resistance were required, there was indecision over specifying YTZP zirconia or 99+ alumina. (read more)

Diamond grinding accuracy to .0005" within an oversized 102" x 70" x 30" envelope. With the man assist crane Insaco has the ability to machine a wide range of large ceramic and glass pieces (read more)

Insaco is a custom fabricator of ceramic, glass, sapphire, and other hard materials, we specialize in machining parts that often require tolerances measured in millionths of an inch, and wear properties that satisfy even the most demanding applications (read more)

Materials change proves winner for NASA

Problem:

Deep space-based research by NASA called for a high energy solar concentrator that could focus from 3.5" to a faceted point over a 12" length. Designers had initially tried sapphire as the material best suited to this application. (read more)
