My company is looking for a "micro-sized" high-precision CNC (with option to do some manual operations) milling machine to do perform critical fixture machining for semiconductor chip carriers, small integrated microwave assemblies and other electronic device fixturing tasks. The materials to be machined would typically be 360 brass, 6061 aluminum and occasionally OFHC copper.
On performing a quick google search for such a machine I am inundated with cheap hobby-oriented garbage that will not meet requirements, nor have the durability for the short-run throughput required.
Space in our facility is limited, so the machine needs to be table-top sized, but would be installed to have the requisite rigidity required.
Does anyone still make such a machine? USA manufactured is preferred, but would consider European import as well (but then I have to deal with the issue of a foreign supplier and it creates extra paperwork for me.)
