[Example of Use] Movable Stage Metal Ceramic Composite Material
The performance of the device is improved by lightweight, high-rigidity metal-ceramic composite materials.
"Metal ceramic composite material with rigidity exceeding that of cast iron due to the lightness of aluminum" Aluminum is light but bends. Iron does not bend but is heavy. This is a new material that solves the designer's dilemma. In addition to excellent specific rigidity, its outstanding thermal properties of low thermal expansion and high thermal conductivity make it suitable for movable stages. The adoption of MMC is progressing in high-speed moving parts of mountings and machine tools. It meets diverse needs through gravity casting, low-pressure casting, and die casting methods.
basic information
**Features** - Lightweight and high rigidity: The lightness of aluminum combined with the rigidity of steel. Exceptional specific rigidity changes the performance of the device. - Good vibration damping: Moves quickly and stops precisely. - Low thermal expansion: Reduces thermal distortion with thermal expansion close to that of stainless steel guides. - High thermal conductivity and high thermal radiation: Heat is transmitted effectively, and heat dissipation is good, suppressing heat generation in linear motors. - Can be replaced without changing the current cast shape.

Applications/Examples of results
○ High-speed movable parts for chip mounters Increased rigidity with aluminum alternatives and weight reduction with iron alternatives ⇒ Improved manufacturing takt time. ○ Machine tool parts High-speed movement of large cast components is possible. Weight reduction of parts can prevent heat generation in linear motors. Improved heat dissipation due to high thermal conductivity. ○ Tables for LCD manufacturing equipment exceeding 2m in size With the increase in size of mother glass, issues such as heaviness with iron and bending with aluminum have arisen. ⇒ Simply switching to MMC resolves these issues! ○ Enclosures and cases Lightweight, high rigidity, and excellent thermal properties make them suitable for enclosures and cases. ○ Others - Dispersing SiC in aluminum allows it to be used as a wear-resistant material. - Utilizing high thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion, it is used as a heat dissipation material.
