Micro Injection Molding

Innovative
processes

We have developed a unique manufacturing process in collaboration with DTU Mechanical Engineering for high-precision mass manufacturing of 3D multi-material μIM-components. This process, executed on Witmann-Battenfeld Micro Power 15, integrates a metrology strategy for quality control.

Our innovative production method allows for the overmold of metal and plastic components in one mold simultaneously, streamlining complex component production. This method eliminates certain assemblies, resulting in a more efficient and cost-effective process.

Thermoplastic Elastomers compounds

  • Advanced material innovation

    Ortofon works closely with European compound suppliers in order to develop and test new materials. The new materials elaborated by Ortofon have very good properties regarding acoustic damping and isolation vibration.

    Our compounds comply with the requirements for environmental and chemical resistance, skin kindness, bio-compatibility and UV resistance.


    We have the capability to elaborate new compounds according to customer requirements.

  • TPE versatility

    We believe Thermoplastic Elastomers is a material that has a long-term prospects with regard to active development of new properties and applications. TPE has excellent material and damping properties.

    We have developed special TPE compound with improved damping properties that has been applied for optimization of our TA-210 tonearm, LH-10000 headshell and Hi-End phono cartridges.

    Therefore one of our investment areas is TPE, which has been through a remarkable period of development over the past few years.
