Etched SS Filter Mesh By Reel To Reel Photochemical Etching With Tight Tolerances

At Xinhaisen, we specialize in precision reel-to-reel photochemical etching for stainless steel (SS) filter meshes. Our advanced etching technology allows for the production of high-precision, intricate metal parts with tight tolerances and superior quality. Using continuous roll-to-roll processing, we can achieve efficient, scalable production for a wide range of applications, from filtration to microelectronics.

How Does Reel to Reel Photochemical Etching Work?

 flow.

1. Unwinding – The metal coil is unwound and fed into the processing line.

2. Cleaning – Surface impurities such as oils, oxides, and other contaminants are thoroughly cleaned.

3. Coating – A thin, uniform layer of photoresist is applied to the metal surface.

4. Imaging – Patterns are transferred to the photoresist via ultraviolet (UV) exposure.

5. Etching – The exposed areas of metal are chemically etched away.

6. Stripping – The remaining photoresist is stripped off.

7. Rewinding – The processed metal strip is rewound for inspection or further assembly.

This efficient process delivers high throughput, ensures consistent product quality, and reduces manufacturing costs, making it ideal for sectors such as electronics, automotive, filtration, and medical devices.

Advantages of Roll to Roll Continuous Etching

• High Precision: Achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.01mm, ensuring that your parts fit perfectly and function reliably.

• Scalable Production: From prototype runs to high-volume manufacturing, our reel-to-reel system ensures efficient production with minimal waste.

• Complex Designs: Intricate geometries, fine holes, and custom apertures are etched with ease.

• Clean and Burr-Free Edges: Our photochemical etching process leaves edges smooth, reducing the need for additional finishing work.

• Minimal Material Waste: Since material is fed continuously, there’s less scrap, making it cost-effective for large-scale production.

Etching Capabilities:

Our reel-to-reel photochemical etching process ensures high-volume production of custom metal mesh with consistent quality. The process allows for the creation of complex patterns, fine apertures, and exact specifications, with high repeatability across large batches. Whether you need filter mesh for liquid or gas filtration, or microscale components for sensors and medical devices, we can meet your needs with precision.

Other Available Processes:

• Laser Cutting & Stamping: For additional precision after etching.

• Microchannel Etching: For fluidic or thermal management applications.

• Diffusion Bonding: For joining etched components into multi-layer structures.

• Surface Treatments: Passivation, polishing, or coating for enhanced performance.
