- Description
- TECHNOLOGY/BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY High Precision Tool Holder for Diamond Turning Benefits: This tool holder has the following benefits: Highly precise ? 20 nm sensitivity is an order of magnitude better than current devices Stable - Flexure hinges are free of trapped friction and provide completely stable tool position Simple - Negligible parasitic error motion simplifies adjustments in three orthogonal directions Fast - Tool setting is much faster and more precise than with current devices View Photograph of the Tool Holder at: http://www.llnl.gov/IPandC/technology/profile/announcement/HighPrecisionToolHolderforDiamondTurning.php Description: Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have designed a tool holder for use with Diamond Turning Machines: Precision machining of meso-scale components with complex three-dimensional shapes Provides sub-??m accuracy on a four-axis diamond turning machine Simplified the process of setting the cutting tool on a B-axis with sub-??m precision Tool Holder uses flexures to provide stability and accuracy Manual micrometer adjusters, each with a minimum increment of motion of 20 nm Simplified setup with sub-??m accuracy Setup time reduced by an order of magnitude Status: LLNL has built and used fully functional units. Goal: LLNL would like to find an industrial partner willing to license and commercialize this technology. Note: THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT. Companies interested in commercializing LLNL's High Precision Tool Holder should provide a written statement of interest, which includes the following: 1. Company Name and address. 2. The name, address, and telephone number of a point of contact. 3. A description of corporate expertise and facilities relevant to commercializing this technology. Written responses should be directed to: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Industrial Partnerships and Commercialization P.O. Box 808, L-795 Livermore, CA 94551-0808 Attention: FBO 142-07 Please provide your written statement within thirty (30) days from the date this announcement is published to ensure consideration of your interest in LLNL's High Precision Tool Holder.
