A bio-nanotechnology instrument company needed a machined aluminum backplate to a metric print — flat, deburred, countersunk, and turned around fast.
A bio-nanotechnology instrument company needed aluminum backplates for an instrument build: 127 mm × 127 mm × 3.18 mm plate with four 6 mm countersunk mounting holes, dimensioned in metric. Thin instrument plates are easy to get wrong — they warp if handled carelessly, and burrs or sharp edges are unacceptable on parts that technicians assemble by hand.
We machined the plates to print with flatness-conscious workholding, countersank the mounting holes to the specified 90° included angle, and deburred and broke every edge. Metric prints are run as drawn — no unit conversion errors between the customer's CAD and our floor.
Clean, flat, assembly-ready plates delivered on a prototype timeline. Instrument makers in the Triangle's bio and nano space need a local shop that treats small precision parts with production discipline — that's this job.
