Creating complex components atom by atom

Ready for series production in electrochemical machining with PC-based control.
PECM (Pulsed Electrochemical Machining) is a fast corrosion process that can form complicated geometries atom by atom. It is therefore ideal for the precise manufacturing of metal parts for high-tech applications. To integrate the core process into a fully automated, high-throughput production line, Voxel Innovations and Palmetto Mechatronics relied on the open PC-based control technology from Beckhoff.

Daniel Herrington, CEO of Voxel Innovations, was working for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA–E) when he had a realization. “Manufacturing underpins most major advances in technology, whether it’s in the energy industry, medical device or aerospace. I realized I wanted to work in manufacturing, and I saw that electrochemical machining had significant untapped potential.”
