, a brand of (EMC), has designed a laser cutting and CNC machining solution for the medical device market. The fully integrated laser cutting system offers comprehensive Swiss machining capabilities, as well as through-part cooling and automatic part-handling options.
The laser-Swiss cutting system is available for laser cutting as well as CNC machining precision metal tube and rod components, ranging from 1 mm to 20 mm in diameter. Other capabilities include inner-diameter (ID) expansion and increase, laser cut patterns, outer-diameter (OD) reduction and CNC drilling. According to the company, these features enable highly precise medical tube and rod applications, among others, to be created quickly and accurately.
Surgical and medical instruments that can be produced using the Laser Swiss system include robotic surgical instruments, while structural heart applications include delivery systems for heart valve replacements and repairs. In the field of orthopedics, the system will be used for surgical tools or implants, while the vascular market will benefit from atherectomy catheters, amongst other key components and equipment.
Combining laser cutting with CNC Swiss machining in this way is said to be highly productive in terms of costs, lead times and quality control. Laserage’s Laser Swiss system contributes to reduced production times, which will speed up manufacturing processes and reduce costs. The Laser Swiss system can also take the place of multiple single-purpose machines in a busy production site.
