Kern Pyramid Nano – Now Discontinued!

From the 10th July, The Kern Pyramid Nano ultra-precision machining centre has been officially discontinued and will no longer be in production.

A Legacy of Excellence
Since its launch, the Pyramid Nano set new benchmarks for nano-precision manufacturing. Delivering positioning accuracy down to ±0.5µm, surface finishes as fine as Ra 0.02µm, and combining hydrostatic guideways and ball screw actuation with state of the art thermal management, it became the machine tool benchmark for machine shops involved in the manufacture of optical moulds, medical components, aerospace parts and high-end toolmaking.

For Rainford Precision – the exclusive UK & Ireland partner for Kern – this machine has been transformative. It enabled us to serve the most demanding sectors, secured our position as the leading ultra-precision technology specialist, and built lasting trust with customers who required accuracy that no other machine could match.

Support and Next Steps
Full technical support, spare parts and service will continue for all existing Pyramid Nano installations. For new projects requiring comparable or even higher performance, we would be happy to review these and recommend alternative options from the latest Kern Range – which incorporate advanced micro gap hydrostatic technology, linear drives and precise thermal management for which Kern are renown.

I would like to say thank you for your assistance so far. We have only drilled 4 x 0.80mm holes 50d deep but the fact they worked the first time was appreciated by everyone.

We use OSG mainly but when we have a specific job that needs doing, we come to Rainford Precision because they are and do the Crème De La Crème of Products and services.

The End Mill was an ideal choice due to the unusual shape and the need to have a small radius. They turned out great, and the surface finish is really good.
