At MicroMécanique we are experts in high-performance assembly processes that complement the traditional manual operations used in the microtechnology field such as brazing, shrink fitting and bonding.
These techniques can be used to combine different materials, assemble complex or miniaturised parts and guarantee mechanical reliability under tough conditions. Our expertise guarantees high-strength assemblies, micron-level precision and optimal surface quality.
Direct industrial applications
Brazing, shrink fitting and bonding are techniques applied to:
- Aeronautics and space: for assemblies withstanding high temperatures and vibration.
- Nuclear power and energy: multi-material tools subjected to high stress.
- Luxury goods and watchmaking: miniaturised assemblies of decorative and functional components.
- Medical devices and connectors: bonding precision parts where machining alone will not suffice.
- Automotive and engineering industries: durable tool fastenings, fixtures and small series parts.
Our assembly machines and equipment
Our workshops are equipped to guarantee reliable and reproducible assemblies:
- 1 manual micro-assembly shop
- Induction brazing with the POWER CONTROLLER V2 (Ø 1 to 200 mm)
- Traditional brazing stations adapted for small micromechanical parts
- Shrink fitting processes for tight assemblies using thermal expansion
- Multi-material bonding with resins and technical adhesives for micro-assemblies
This equipment enables repeatability and traceability when working on individual parts and small series.
Capabilities and performance on technical and hard materials
Our assembly processes are suited to a wide range of materials:
- Tungsten carbide: brazing and shrink fitting for, tools used in harsh environments.
- Hardened steels: assemblies resistant to mechanical stress.
- Titanium and superalloys: lightweight and robust assemblies for the aeronautics and medical industries.
- Stainless steel, copper, brass and aluminium: multi-material bonding and brazing of technical or decorative parts.
- Industrial ceramics: delicate assemblies involving fragile parts.
These techniques enable robust and durable assemblies perfect for miniaturised components, severe mechanical stress and extreme conditions.
