SARIX SA, MICRO EDM TECHNOLOGY, LOSONE
High precision 3D Micro EDM Milling Technology

SARIX always at leading edge of the highest Micro-machining performance offers now a new Micro EDM machining concept, the 3D Micro EDM Milling Machining. Complete 3D cavities can be achieved down to real micro scale of 10 micron with accurate tolerance down to 0.3 micron within high surface finishing of Ra 50 Nano. With its reliable machine concept using in once the Micro-Drilling, Micro-sinking and the 3D Micro EDM Milling, SARIX contribute on the development of new high-tech products and Micro-device. Micro EDM is now utilized for high-performance applications in electronics, automotive, medical, textiles, aerospace, and industrial equipment. Difficult-to-machine materials such as titanium, hardened steel, tungsten carbide, PCD and even some ceramics can be machined by micro EDM on SARIX machines.
SEMOFS, Surface Enhanced Micro Optical Fluidic Systems
Surface Enhanced Micro Optical Fluidic Systems

The aim of the SEMOFS project is to carry out research at the frontier of knowledge for the development of a next generation of biosensor: a polymer-based card type integrated solution of ”Plasmonics enhanced SPR”-sensor. This will be achieved thanks to the combination of innovative concepts of plasmonics, integrated optics (light source, detection ) and micro-fluidics, and will be a real significant breakthrough since it will be totally integrated on a polymer-based chip. This new biosensor concept will go far beyond the existing technology platforms and will provide increased sensitivity and diagnosis possibilities, cost effectiveness, and disposability, which is required to enable the emergence of new healthcare models.
