Chemical Machining - (PCM)
 Photochemical
Machining - (PCM) components are produced
by the photo-etching technique using a wide
array of metal and alloys. This technique
avoids burrs, no mechanical stresses are
built into the parts and the properties
of the metal worked are not affected. Hardened
and tempered metals are machined as easily
as regular metals. The technique is ideal
for machining thin metals and foils. Parts
with very precise and intricate designs
can be produced without difficulty. The
photo chemical machining/milling processes
can precisely etch lines and spaces on all
types of metals (alloys: kovar, nickel,
brass, beryllium, copper, stainless steel,
aluminum, and others) with detailed accuracies.
This is used for creating specialty flex
circuits, plus in engineering of other rigid
technologies. This results in a burr free
part with very close tolerances.
