Photochemical Machining Services

At Lancaster Metals Sciences, we have committed ourselves to providing our customers with innovative engineering, the highest precision, uncompromising quality, and unparalleled customer services.

Precision, quality and value begin with engineering. Lancaster Metals Science's engineering staff offers metallurgical and design assistance. Low cost CAD generated tooling, photo-plotted with up to 1/16 of a mil resolution, assures consistent quality and precision. Lancaster Metals Science can receive parts specifications by blueprint or by electronic media.

Lancaster Metals Science produces metal parts on a wide range of materials. Metals commonly photo-chemically machined include copper, beryllium copper, phosphor bronze, brass, mild steels, 300 and 400 series stainless steels, precipitation hardening steels, aluminum and its alloys, nickel, monels, inconels, kovar, molybdenum, and nickel-iron magnetic alloys with high permeabilities. Lancaster Metals Science processes metal foils with thicknesses less than .001" to metal sheets with thicknesses up to .125".

Our flexible manufacturing capability allows the production of a few prototypes as well as high volume production runs.

Offering many additional secondary operations such as heat treating, forming and precious and non-precious metal plating, Lancaster Metals Science becomes the single source for all your metal components requirements.

All manufactured parts are subject to rigorous dimensional and visual inspections. Applying the principles of statistical process control and statistical quality control assures our customers of the zero defect standard for quality and precision.

Lancaster Metals Science's facility features up-to-date manufacturing equipment. Our etching department operates five etch lines. Four of the etch lines feature dual chambers and etchant regeneration. The dual chamber etchers are based on Chemcut® 547, XLI, 2002 and 8000 platforms. The 2002 and 8000 lines feature reciprocating spray manifolds, the latest in high precision etching technology.

The plant incorporates all the necessary environmental controls including a waste water treatment system. Our full-time environmental engineer assures that Lancaster Metals Science is in complete compliance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations.
