Filter by Process Zone:
Automated Precision Milling of Surgical Instruments and Medical Components
Featuring a 320 mm diameter NC swiveling rotary table with a multi-clamp system, the working area of a high performance Hermle C 22 U 5-axis machining center is used by Fetzer Medical to machine surgical instruments and complex medical components to customer specifications.
High Speed, Ultra-Compact, Dual-Axis Rotary Table for Machining Small Complex Medical Parts
The TRT70 dual-axis rotary table from Haas easily fits the smallest machining center or mounts on one end of a larger machine’s table, freeing up the remainder for additional fixtures or vises.
Smart Machining of Medical Implants, Medical Components and More
The Mikron MILL S 400 U from GF Machining Solutions provides levels of reliability, traceability and accuracy that are ideal for mold and die machining, as well as post-processing parts and molds produced with additive manufacturing systems.
Nano Level Precision Control for Micro-Machining, Laser Processing and Inspection of Medical Components
The Hybrid Hexapod from ALIO combines a precision XY monolithic stage, tripod, and continuous rotation theta-Z axis for superior performance in precision, path performance, speed, stiffness and a larger work envelope with virtually unlimited XY travel and fully programmable tool center point locations with less than 100 Nm 3D 6-axis Point Precision repeatability.
How to Maximize Precision Output of Small, Complex Medical Parts
The Quicktech S-32 ATM 9-axis twin spindle mill/turn center from Absolute Machine Tools combines integral-motor main- and sub-spindles with a 190 deg B-axis milling head and a fast automatic tool changer.
Advanced Systems for Medical Device Manufacturing
The TruLaser Cell 3000 5-axis laser machine from TRUMPF quickly and easily switches between fine cutting with up to 8 kW of solid-state laser power, precision welding with a wire feeder, or laser metal deposition for cladding or adding volume and structures to small or medium-sized 2D or 3D components.
CO2 Lenses and Mirrors for Precision Laser Engraving of Medical and Dental Instruments
CO2 Precision Marking Lenses from Laser Research Optics come in 0.5 in to 1.5 in sizes with focal lengths from 1 in to 25 in at 0.5 in increments with < 0.2 percent total absorption values to keep them cooler.
Vacuum Heat Treating System for Manufacturing Surgical Components
The TITAN H2 vacuum heat treating system with 2-bar gas quenching from Ipsen has an 18 in x 24 in x 18 in all-metal hot zone with a 1,000 lb load capacity and can operate at temperatures from 1,000 deg F to 2,400 deg with ±10 deg F uniformity.
Compact, Cost Effective Linear Robot for Medical Devices with Strict Safety Requirements
The self-lubricating and maintenance-free drylin E linear robot from igus can carry loads up to 5.5 lb at maximum speeds up to 1.64 fps.
Measure Spherical and Plano Optics on the Shop Floor
The MarOpto MT 100 from Mahr Inc. is ideal for measuring spheres and flats up to 4 in diameter with lambda/20 accuracy and resolution of 0.5 µm.
Redefining Digital Dentistry with Enhanced Patient Care
Using the NextDent 5100 3D printer powered by Figure 4 technology from 3D Systems, dental labs and clinics can produce dental devices up to 4X faster while reducing material waste, capital equipment expenditure, and reliance upon milling centers.
Highly Productive Cutting of Small Gears for Medical Equipment
The Affolter AF110 plus gear hobbing center from Rotec Tools maximizes productivity in cutting small spur, helical, frontal, bevel, and crown gears for medical equipment, with cutter-spindle speeds up to 12,000 rpm.
