Learn how to machine medical components

Expertise for challenging production

Your demands set our standards

Medical is one of the most technically demanding industries in the world. With increasingly difficult to machine materials, exacting specifications and constant time restraints, the manufacture of medical parts has many limitations – but at the same time, production rates are set to increase.

Components and their features

Our goal is to offer complete solutions to typical components, including the physical tool and the processing knowledge.

Sandvik Coromant offers a large range of advanced tooling and machining solutions for medical devices: hip joints, bone screws, pedicle screws, and bone plates.

A solution encompassing:

• spindle interface
  
• tool holder suited to accessing the component shape
  
• programming methods
  
• insert grade and geometry
  
• surface integrity – correct parameters to leave the component in the best condition

Our focus

1) Reducing your non-cutting time – the only time the machine is making money is when the "green light" is on. Here, the adoption of more highly flexible machines, modular tooling systems and high pressure coolant will make a big impact.

2) Optimizing the cutting process - when programming for the first time – even for a prototype – this is the time to implement "best practice" for each component feature.
