ABSTRACT:
A machine for manufacturing high strength flexure hinges having use in accelerometers. A source of metal material is splat-cooled after it has been heated to a molten state. An induction heater heats the metal material to the molten state and the molten metal is rapidly cooled while being pressed between two water cooled wheels. The wheels are provided with indentations and protuberances on their surfaces to produce flexure hinges and strengthening beams. A chute is provided to catch the flexures as they leave the wheels preventing damage to them.
