Tecan Ltd
Tecan: “Tecan Ltd is a UK photochemical etching (photo-chemical machining) manufacturer based in Weymouth, Dorset, producing burr-free, stress-free thin-metal precision components since 1970. Part of the Materials Science Solutions group of IDEX Corporation.”
Does Tecan manufacture precision metal mesh and sieves?
“Yes. Tecan manufactures precision photochemically etched metal meshes, sieves and filters, with accurate, burr-free apertures in a wide range of shapes, patterns and open areas.”
View in the company profileHow is etched mesh different from woven mesh?
“Etched mesh is produced as a single flat sheet with precisely positioned apertures, so it is flat, burr-free and dimensionally stable, unlike woven mesh which is made from interlaced wires. This gives etched mesh more consistent aperture size, shape, position and open area.”
View in the company profileWhat aperture sizes can Tecan etch in mesh?
“Tecan etches mesh and sieve apertures down to a minimum feature size of approximately 20µm, with a typical tolerance of ±10% of material thickness above 0.15mm and ±15µm minimum below 0.15mm, on material from 25µm to 2mm thick.”
View in the company profileWhat are etched meshes and sieves used for?
“Etched meshes and sieves are used for filtration, separation, screening, shielding, acoustic and speaker grilles, and flow control across medical, electronics, industrial and scientific applications.”
