KERN Precision Partners with Merrifield Machinery Solutions



KERN Precision, Inc. has announced its new partnership with Merrifield Machinery Solutions of Pontiac, MI, and Grand Rapids, MI. Merrifield Machinery Solutions is a full-service CNC machine tool supplier and advisor to customers on sound capital investments, cost control and equipment optimization.

KERN manufactures 3- and 5-axis machining centers with repeat accuracy of <0.5 um and <0.3 um and a spindle runout of < 1 um. Designed for precision part manufacturers, mold and die, research and development, medical and micro-drilling applications, KERN machines provide precision on the workpiece below +/-5 um, (The KERN Pyramid Nano holds tolerances of +/- 1 um) and surface quality up to Ra < 0.05 um, according to the company.

"In tool and die manufacturing, KERN machines are capable of hard milling inserts and µ-exact electrodes for injection molds, sinter presses, forging tools, metal injection molding (MIM) dies and hot embossing tools," said a company spokesperson. Manufacturing of µ-exact electrodes from copper or graphite and workpieces in steel up to HRC 62 can be done in either 3- or simultaneous 5-axis configurations.

"The results that we are seeing from the KERN machines are exceeding expectations," said Pete Vandersluis, Sales Manager at Merrifield Machinery Solutions. "The machine tools offer high precision and tight tolerances. We look forward to demonstrating to our Michigan customers the ROI that the KERN machines produce."

Toni Mangold, KERN Precision Sales Director, said, "We have been searching for a partner who could come along side of KERN with knowledge of the Michigan market, as well as the ability to provide excellent service to our customers. We have found that partner with Merrifield."
