RVactuators' MicroWire production process

Production of RVactuators

MicroWires used in RVactuators are fabricated through the Taylor–Ulitovsky process, an advanced technique that produces extremely fine metallic filaments coated within a protective glass layer.

This method enables the production of wires with diameters from sub-micron levels up to tens of microns, while the thickness of the glass coating can be adjusted to suit specific application needs.

By carefully controlling factors such as temperature and drawing speed during production, it is possible to fine-tune the internal structure and resulting properties of the MicroWires. As a result, these materials exhibit a broad range of magnetic and physical characteristics, making them highly suitable for applications in actuation, sensing, electronics, and other advanced technologies.
