Micra

Micra

Micra is a CNC punching machine ideal for the production of micro-perforated acoustic panels.

Unique in its kind, Micra is a compact machine that occupies less than 5 square metres, an incredibly smaller size than other micropunching machines on the market.

Microperforation: Vitap's patented method

With Micra, Vitap has patented a revolutionary system for microperforated soundproofing panels. Until now, microperforation was mainly carried out using two methods:

• Traditional method: a lengthy process which, to achieve the final result, involves several actions and the intervention of at least three machines to drill the panel, apply glue to it and join the panel with a micro-perforated sheet (to be purchased specially).

• Laser method: an effective method but one that presents a major problem. Laser processing produces fumes that are harmful to health and therefore requires a special room to be set up (with considerable investment of money and space) to do the work safely.

Vitap's patented method, on the other hand, involves two single, simple steps to be carried out in a small space and in complete safety: 

   1. Micra micro-drills the upper face of the panel: the micro-holes are invisible and preserve the aesthetic value of the panel
   2. The lower face of the panel is drilled by another CNC machine such as our Point Acoustic.

Micra can drill holes as small as 0.5 mm in diameter. This machine is equipped with a steel punching head with micro-holes from 300 up to 2300, depending on the need. The punching head can in fact be designed according to your specific needs.

Intuitive in operation, it is extremely simple to use and allows you to achieve high performance in a simple way.

Micra has no limit on panel length in the X-axis, and works on panel thicknesses up to 50 mm and Y-axis widths up to 1300 mm.
