Since 1965, The Conard Corporation has specialized in the advanced metal fabrication technology known as PCM or photo chemical machining or Photolithography . Conard produces precise toleranced metal products using this process.    (What is Chemical Etching?)

Applications include:

• Electronic
• Medical
• Optical
• Aerospace
• Computer

Specialized Metal Technologies

Mechanical Chemical etching is exceptionally well suited to producing mechanical components such as shims, spacers, gaskets, pointers, dials, clips, diaphragms and many more. From the simplest geometries to the most complex, chemical machining is a very cost effective solution for precision metal parts.

Examples of precision shims for CPU applications :

Miniature flexures, tabbed for automated assembly

Etched to precise depth, rupture discs protect pressurized equipment

Linkage Adjustable stainless steel strap

Stainless steel shaft locking washers

Stainless steel flange gasket

Etched and formed micro switch actuator springs

 CNC Machine Tool Alignment Template Stainless Steel Encoders 1/10 of an inch in diameter

Encoder discs of Aluminum, Brass, Phosphor Bronze and Beryllium C
