Weymouth, Dorset, UK — Tecan has opened the doors to its new sales and technical support facility in Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., in order to ensure the best local support for its increasing customer base in the U.S. and the rapidly emerging markets of Mexico and Asia.
The company offers single-source high precision metal part and tooling solutions for present-day and next-generation contract manufacturing requirements. The service spans technology development through to rapid prototyping and volume production, supported by fully traceable QA systems.
Technological innovation and expertise form the basis of the company¹s ongoing success, and have provided the platform for the development of several core competences in process technologies, which include photo-chemical machining (PCM), photo electroforming (PEF), precision photolithography, precision electroplating and metal finishing.
The company¹s established markets include CEM, automotive, defense, industrial, medical, aerospace and telecommunications. Typical products include encoder discs, leadframes, hybrid lids, deposition masks, meshes/sieves, microreplication tools, and RFI/EMC screening cans and labyrinths.
In the case of microparts, the company reports growth across new-generation application arenas. These micro-applications include sensors, actuators, hearing aids, medical devices, optical instruments, micro-lenses, meshes, masks, displays and micro-fluidic devices. Microparts can be manufactured to extremely small scale, with features, such as apertures, fluidic channels or raised lands, down to 2 µm, with tolerances at sub-micron levels. Similarly, the company can produce parts up to 600 x 765mm with equally fine resolutions.
