Micro Machining
It is widely acknowledged that Australian manufacturers are
currently facing a number of critical issues impeding their
overall competitiveness. The emergence of China and India in the
macro-engineering world has set a bleak scene for the macro
manufacturing industries in Australia. Alternative manufacturing
strategies and opportunities must be sought if the existing
manufacturing capability is to continue to be effectively
leveraged. Micro Machining is one of those opportunities this
leverages the positive capabilities prevalent in the Australian
manufacturing industry namely: Q&A, Management and cost
effective control of high diversity, low volume, and high
complexity manufacturing.
As part of the companyıs changing business strategy, Realtek
has spearheaded the move into Nanotechnology and Micro Machining
and currently dominates in the supply, support and technology
transfer in relation to Swiss-type CNC Automatic Lathes in this
environment.

Additionally, Realtek represents a number of nanotechnology
equipment manufacturers, significantly:
- EV Group, Austria
- Surface Technology Systems, United Kingdom
The single common factor in the application of nanotechnology,
in any environment, is manufacturing. As such there is a direct
requirement for Micro Machining where packaging, mounting, housing
and component manufacture is concerned. This is particularly true
in relation to the manufacture of micro plastic injection mould
dies, as well as medical and dental device manufacture.

Highlights
STOP THE PRESS!
Realtek signs exclusive deal with
Crestec, Japan's leading manufacturer of High
Resolution E-Beam Lithography technology.
At a recent workshop held at MINIFAB
2008, Crestec's president and sales manager introduced
their advanced E-Beam technology to a packed audience. They
also announced that an exclusive distribution agreement had been
reached with Realtek Technologies for the Australasia region.
REALTEK RECEIVES AN ORDER
FOR AUSTRALIA'S FIRST NANO SCALE MACHINING CENTRE
The Kira SuperMill-2M has a positional
accuracy of 10nm with a 50,000rpm main spindle and it's 160,000rpm
finishing spindle offers tool makers and researchers alike an
outstanding next generation machine tool capability.
This new technology developed in
collaboration with Tokyo University will be delivered to UniSA early
in 2009.
RETOOLING THE MINING SECTOR
Realtek has traditionally been seen as
a market leader in the small end of machine tool technology.
However, in the 2007/2008 period we have been very active in the
large scale retooling of the mining sector.
