Yasda YMC430: Yasda Precision of Japan, the most renowned and respected manufacturer of machining centers in the world, is Methods most recent partnership, and one we are significantly proud of. Yasda's YMC430 Ver. II micromachining center is ideal for the ultra-precise manufacturing and high surface finishes that is required on small, complex features. This machine uses a closed-loop cooling system to maintain a constant temperature within 0.2°C (0.36°F), allowing the machine to cut continually for days while maintaining consistent machine accuracy. Yasda also incorporates the Dyna Vision Pro Camera from BIG Daishowa, Osaka, Japan, which uses a 600x magnification lens and high-pixel CCD camera to measure tool length, diameter, and profile to within 0.1 microns (0.000004"), even when the spindle is running at full rpm. Micromachining is used widely in mold and die manufacturing, espe- cially in the optics industry, giving manufacturers the potential to cut ever smaller features, hold tighter tolerances, and surface finishes undreamed of only a few years ago.
